I Knit Shit...

NOT!!!

Salina, designed by Kim Hargreaves, is finished!!! This is my all time favorite project. And it actually fits me!!! Umm, you'll need to overlook the crappy-ass pictures.




I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! Okay, I'll stop jumping up and down!

Yarn: Rowan Felted Tweed , color #146, green

I made several modifications: It was knit in the round to the underarms, so there would be less seaming to conquer; however, I decreased and shaped the waist as per the instructions. Also, I didn't knit the cuffs as per the pattern... just too lazy and slightly intoxicated to follow those instructions.

Next project..... finish an afghan I started last spring.
