Just blocked out my #solbeincardigan 😍 Going to steek it tomorrow during my tuesday night stitch circle I think 😁 and then I just have to decode on buttons or a zipper.....leaning towards a zipper! . #knittersofinstagram #knitting #icelandicwool #Lettlopi #steek (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPiwt4sJGSg/?utm_medium=tumblr

And then 2 years later, I sewed the zipper on. Hooray! (So here are pictures of me modeling my Finished Object in Chicken View Terrace. (Not really a terrace but sounds best that way).) Did I do an expert job? No! But that thing is ON. It’s fine. It works great. I now have a sweater jacket for colder weather. Like today! I am pleased I washed and blocked it before finishing because I can just wear it immediately. Added perk: I no longer have to feel guilty when I see the tote bag this project was in. 👍🏼 Knitting specs for my Fiber Friends ™ : Solbein cardigan by Mary Jane Mucklestone Lettlopi yarn 🧶 Modifications: pockets with contrast lining! Zipper not buttons! Also: do you see the hilarious number symmetry in the dates of finishing? That’s why I included a screenshot of my project notes.

Sunshiny Solbein Cardigan is so much fun to knit! The name means sunbeam and that makes me happy. #newsweaterontheneedles #solbeincardigan #maryjanemucklestone #ravelry #knittersofinstagram #villekullahandmade #knitting (at Calgary, Alberta)
