Progress on the Slip Stitch Jacket

Posted on | October 10, 2007 | 4 Comments

I’ve come so far on my slip stitch jacket, I almost didn’t get to post about it before it was finished!

Slip Stitch Jacket Front

The only thing that probably slowed my pace was this:

Not enough yarn

That was the yarn that I had left after making the back and 2 fronts. Considering I still had 2 sleeves and a collar to go, it was a little disturbing. How did that happen????

Luckily, I called up Knitty City today and they had the same dye lot in stock. Yay! So I ran up there after work to pick up 3 more balls. Hopefully that will be enough to complete the jacket.

Emergency refill

Lots of finishing going on around here too. Grannie #2 is almost there! And the cashmere secret project just needs some buttons and a neck finish. Maybe, just maybe they’ll all be complete by the end of the week.

    The granny smith looks great in the Lanas Puras! And the slip jacket is coming along. You’ll get to wear it soon I bet. The weather seems to be turning…

    please don’t think I’m stalking you – I found your granny smith pattern on Ravelry and I love it, so I was checking out your blog… I work at Knitty City, I was the one who pulled the extra yarn for you. (twice!) So funny!

    Anyway, the cardi is the next thing I’m going to knit after I’m done with all my xmas presents!
