My part is done.......



Just tell me how grateful you are that I can quit blogging about this jacket. The knitting finished around 10pm last night as the Mets were up 11-5 or so. Al can attest: I had less than one foot of the Noro yarn left, as I bound off.

Okay, it is really pretty now that my part is finished! I am dropping it off at LYS tomorrow; call me a cheater, an inferior knitter, whatever....they can do the seam finishing for me. After all this work, I am not going to risk fudging it. I may add two clasp type buttons as shown in the original pattern picture by Cabin Fever knits.

Tonight, as we watch the Bears game, I will cast on something else. Something very small and quickly satisfying. I'm thinking fingerless gloves.....


Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.
