The Artists Coat
Ta-da! It’s finished. Still looking a little lumpy, since I haven’t blocked it yet. And I, of course, am looking very red in the face because it was about 95 degrees in our house as I was modeling the jacket. I really have a knack for timing when it comes to knitting! At least it’s made of cotton and silk.
I am a little terrified to block it for fear that it will streeeeeetch way out of shape. It fits me perfectly right now. I purposely made the sleeves a little short, figuring they would stretch for sure.
Time taken from start to finish: 5 months.

As you already know, I love this jacket. When I first saw you wear it, it didn’t register that you knitted it - it looked like something you would get from an upscale boutique. It’s beautiful.

That turned out so nicely Julie! I love the way the colors compliment the design.

JULIE, look - you’re finished - I LOVE IT! And, it fits so nicely. If you’re afraid to block it, you could just steam it or even maybe lightly press it to get any bumpy’s out. Speak of finishing, the website it finished. If you want to post it on your blog - I’d be honored. Here is the web link again www.americasknitting.com
