Just waiting for a button

Over the last few weeks I have been working on a little jacket for my nearly-one-year-old friend Holly. It is the kick arse time of the year isn't it? I could have had this finished weeks ago but for a poor choice of yarn first time round and a seemingly never-ending stream of social engagements and obligations. Not that I am complaining - it beats the hell out of having no one to socialise with and nothing to do - but it sure is eating into my crafting time!

Anyways, let me introduce Holly's Jacket, knit in worsted weight yarn (I am sure the Americans are excited and the Aussies are cursing me) in a size 1. Top down, no seams - all the things I like in a pattern. It is just waiting for a button then I will publish the final photos and the pattern for anyone who is interested.


The stripe is an artifact of having not enough of either colour to finish the project. Curse using a discontinued, even if delectable, yarn like Merino Supreme. In fact without the help of the lovely Tania we wouldn't have even gotten this far.
