so, once i finished the body and hood of the sweater, i decided that i really liked how it looked as a vest. plus, i was really over it and dreading doing the sleeves, so that was an added incentive to finish it up.

not loving these pictures, but that's what happens when i don't get to take them. ;)







all in all, this was a great project. i don't LOVE the yarn (kraemer tatamy tweed) - it feels a little more acrylic-y than i had hoped. i haven't washed it yet, so we'll see if that improves my feeling about it.

in any case, this is the first garment i've made for myself that i know i'll wear, and that's pretty exciting. and i'm starting my next sweater today!
