Knitting!!

I started this jacket/cardigan back in January and it has taken ages because it's double knit yarn on fine-ish needles.  But it is finished and I'm delighted!!!
I love the back dart design, I wasn't so sure during the knitting but I'm happy with it now.

The pattern is from Artesano called Jocelyn and I got it from Ravelry.com.  I didn't use an Artesano yarn, and it's always a risk, I either have too much yarn or not enough!  This time I didn't have enough and had to order more, fortunately the different dye lots look similar enough that you can't tell!  The yarn I used was SMC Miracle in the colour Jeans.

Most importantly it is machine washable!!!  I've had a few disasters over the last 2 years with yarn that is meant to be machine washable, I'm really careful about what I buy now, life is too short to be hand-washing too many knits!

I had also just finished another cardigan, but I'll save that for another post!
