It's finished, and I think I'm going to enjoy wearing it NEXT FALL! Argh, this took longer than I planned (as usual!). Well, okay, I still need to sew two buttons on it and crochet the button loops, but the knitting is done...
It's finished! I've already worn it a couple of times and received compliments on it, so I guess I didn't do too badly on it. I substituted yarn, which threw off my row gauge, and I ended up having to stuff the sleeves into armscyes that were 2 inches too long (you have to end the neckline on a certain row because of the center pattern). Oh well, it's done, I like it and I'm on to other things, whoopee!
