I've made a start on the back of Joy. Cotton Tape is a 'joy' to work with - it's so soft and the resultant fabric has a light airy body.
The pattern is pretty straightforward - the rib effect is created by slipping a purl stitch with the yarn behind the work and then purling it on the way back. Sadly, not straightforward enough for me - I've purled once where I should have knit some 10 rows back - sigh. I'm going to try and ladder down to the stitch and re-knit it with a crochet hook. This stuff is knitted on an 8mm needle and isn't too slippery, so it ought to be possible - wish me luck!
I'm joining in with an "Anna Karenina"-readalong with Annie starting sometime soon - would anyone else like to join in? This will be my second reading of the novel - it's supposed to get better as you get older and I loved it first time around.

I unravelled the offending stitch and re-purled with a crochet hook - it worked like a charm!
