I actually finished this a week or so ago, but it was too hot to take a pic of, then I had a cold, and then had too much work on… anyway…

I’m so pleased it fits, even if I’ll have to wait a bit until the weather cools enough to wear it.. :)

…. is all done! Had a bit of a knitting hiatus and then couldn’t stop one evening… Feel ok to leave the front of this a bit til it gets cooler again… (an excuse to start a new project eh?)
