#knit jacket

I've procrastinated for a long while...but I finally weaved in all those loose ends! Those sleeves were especially a nightmare! I probably would not knit checkered patterns for a long while (≧▽≦)

This is officially my 3rd knitted sweater~ <(￣︶￣)> I'm still debating whether I should put buttons or not... The sweater might need some blocking too? And I have never blocked anything before though.

It may look a bit lopsided, but that's a problem with the camera angle and positioning. (≧▽≦) This project turned out okay in the end, I think.

Now, why would I knit with such wacky colors? It's because this sweater was inspired by Eguchi Takuya's clothes in Honey Ready Go!!

Do you see the resemblance? ( ╹▽╹ )

Early 2000s fashion: Natalie Portman & Ashley Judd.

I have never knitted so fast in my life... (≧▽≦)

I started this project last July 30. That means this jacket took about a month to finish. This project also consumed about 8 balls (about 2 km!) of milk cotton yarn. No wonder my wrists are aching. ʘ‿ʘ

Well all that pain was worth it~ I finished just in time before an out of town trip. It's so warm~

Can you guess the source of inspiration for this jacket?

It might be too obvious~ heehee

tada~ inspired by none other than Kiramune! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Since I had no way of buying from overseas, I decided to make my own. ｡◕‿◕｡ I can't duplicate the original design exactly though...perhaps in the future when I gain more knitting skills. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
