Green With Envy

Alternate title: MONKEY OFF MY BACK

A-Line Jacket from Debbie Bliss Cathay Booklet
Debbie Bliss Cathay, Olive, 11 balls
Size 4+6 needles
Ravelry

This sweater took me almost 2 years to knit. And the worst part was, it sat about 1 ball away from completion for almost a year until some burst of motivation had me finish it.

I have always said I was probably avoiding it because I thought I was going to hate the way it looked, but the jury is still out.



I don't really like this yarn. It splits like CRAZY and snags even worse. I have to keep Viva about 20 feet away or she could very easily ruin it. But at least it's DONE. DONE DONE DONE LA LA LA. So happy!

FINITO!


I also added a toggle button to the Minimalist Cardigan. It's exactly what it needed to make it more wearable.






6 Days!

Oh, I love the color! Too bad the yarn stinks. Congrats on finishing it and I think it looks great!

I think your Aline looks great on you! Good job on it! (and I remember when you cast on for it, too!) :) Have a great week/countdown!

The minimalist cardigan looks good with the toggle. I will have to keep it in mind if I ever get around to that part of the queue
