FO: Vogue Knitting Holiday 2003 - The Shawl Collar Jacket


I FINISHED IT! I sewed it together and it's done! YES! Throw another FO on the barbee!
This sweater has been 2 years in the making and I was finally motivated to seam the pieces together because it will come in handy next week in San Francisco and Los Angeles. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Charcoal and let me tell you...this bad boy is HEAVY!
Nope, can't buy 'em in the store like this anymore. Nothing like a nice snuggly handmade sweater to warm the cockles of your heart. *awwww*
