Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t written anything since last year!   Anyway, I started this Tree Jacket from Zephyr Style back in November and didn’t pick it up again until January!  You know how knitters are, well I should say most knitters, are always ready to cast on another project before finishing the other 10 or more they have going.  I decided that I wanted to have this sweater done for my birthday which is March 27th.  Well as of today, I ripped the sleeve out to 4″, when I was originally at 8″!  What can I say but UGH!!!  Mostly everyone on Ravelry said the sleeves were too big.  Oh well,  maybe I can have it done by next week, we’ll see.  Here’s a few more pictures of the sweater. 

The neck looks pretty good. The picture’s not great, but I’m happy with the neck. I used Cascade 220 Superwash. I love the color, but I’m not crazy about the feel of the yarn. The color was haunting me at every time I went to Sophie’s.  When I found this pattern I had an excuse to buy this yarn. 

Here’s a photo of the left sleeve. It reminds me of something I’ve seen Grace Jones wearing back in the 80’s!

Well, I’m off to take my beauties to Tunnels of Fun!!
