I finished this up last night and wore it out! I used the pattern from http://peonyknits.blogspot.com (available in her sidebar). The yarn is Joann Sensations Dolcetto (Wool/Cotton Blend). I actually really like this yarn–very soft and light but still warm! Though now that I’ve blocked it it seems to have stretched out, so I’ll have to make sure it shrinks back a bit!
Thanks all! I just use a pin to close it, but you could add a button or something if you wanted.
The yarn seems to have shrunk back now that it’s dry, but I haven’t tried it back on. The only thing strange about this yarn is it’s smell–I can’t quite explain it! Not wooly, but a little odd. I don’t think it’s noticable to anyone but me though.
Oh YUM! It look GREAT! I just found this same pattern last week, linked from KPC, and I am totally planning to make this as my first attempt at a non-accessory garment, after Christmas. It looks just super on you. Now I’m all psyched to try making it myself!
