not just sorta done.. done!
I've finally finished the ribbed jacket. There hasn't been much motivation to do so, as the adoption process has been a bit stalled. The little girl won't be here till March. Today I finished blocking, bound off my last edge, and even completed the dreaded weaving-in-of-the-ends.
a closeup of the collar:
Pattern: Ribbed Jacket from Special Knits
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in a muted pink shade
Needles: Boye circulars, size 8
My wooly little girl sat next to me as I finished up the sweater-- she's always up for some lounging on the couch time. She's been raised sitting by my side as I knit, so she doesn't bother things too much.
Abby needs a haircut quite badly. I wanted to take her to a new groomer, and when I called, their first appointment was in three weeks! She'll be shorn next wednesday-- she's really not as large as she looks.

Love it! I bought that book for that very jacket...then I found out I was having a boy! I think I'll have to knit some girly things for the next one (or a gift stash?). On the cover of the book, the cardigan is tied with a lovely little rose pin. Just wondering whether you were planning some kind of losure for it? A pin sounds kinda dangerous to have around a baby...

Oooh, your little Bichon is so cute. My sister has one, he's a looney though. Your ribbed jacket is so cute, I was thinking of knitting that one up.
