happy new year and all that

in honor of 2005 -finally- being over, mz decided to overcom her fear of knitting a sweater ... let 2006 begin in style! this is the zippered jacket (no. 22) from vogue knitting (winter 2004-05):

this is the back. can't remember exactly which day i started it (maybe it was the day after christmas), but i finished it today.

here you can see the nice detail in the center of the back piece.

and this is the cabling detail for the armhole shaping.

after a nice dinner of lasagna and wine, i shall cast on for the left front.

happy new year, friends. i pray that your stash remains abundant, all your patterns are error-free, and that inspiration is plentiful.
