Noro World of Nature Volume 20

Sadly, I just found out that Noro World of Nature Volume 20 has been discontinued. There are so many excellent patterns in that book, I'm upset that it'll be gone soon. I'm holding onto one and I have one more available. After that, woosh - gone.

It's got the entrelac vest and basketweave jacket that have been so popular. I've made the vest, which is awesome, and want to make the basketweave jacket too.

I Finished My Entrelac Sleeveless Jacket!!



I'm so happy that I actually took the time to finish a project!!! I, like most knitters, love the knitting, but HATE the assembly. Fortunately, this assembly was pretty painless as it was knit on circulars, leaving just the shoulder seams and tiny piece of the neck band to sew. Then it was a matter of sewing on the buttons.

Of course, I managed to have to do the buttons twice, because they weren't spaced properly the first time! But, I did it and I'm happy to say I LOVE it!

I course I got the yarn in my shop http://www.yarnbarrel.com/. It's Noro silk garden lite. The pattern is from Noro Volume 20 - Y779. http://www.yarnbarrel.com/product_info.php?cPath=57&products_id=203&osCsid=94e3e8159a9041d240e5e22442b39a68
