Last Minute = One Year
It was just about a year ago... I was sitting in a hotel room in Montana starting the Men's Zipped Raglan. Little did I know, the stupid zipper would be the end of me. Not really. I was just lazy. It took me three tries to get the thing in there since I ended up not liking the brown thread with the orange zipper. The clear thread stuff proved to be the perfect fit for this project. Behold:
Scott isn't totally in love with it, but he likes it. Good enough for me. I really don't like the collar. The pattern isn't written well in that regards and now that I am a more experienced knitter, I know things like that! It looks a little bit nicer open and will probably end up being used as more of a jacket. I am happy. It is done.
Pattern: Men's Zipped Raglan from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: Manos del Uruguay in #G (coffee)
Measurements: 42" chest, Medium
Started: October 28, 2005
Finished: October 28, 2006
Other Details: This project was a good knit overall. There were a few major mistakes in the pattern, and the zipper was a pain, but it was fine overall. You really can't pass up on the Manos, its just so beautiful in the rib!

wow, one year! i bet you're relieved it's off your list! makes room for other good things to knit :)
REally looks great on him. I like the orange with the coffee.
Nice job on it though! What a relief to be done!
Is that your Peppermint colorway I spy? ;)
It looks great! I bet it feels great to have that off your shoulders. Now you can cast on for something new:)
ohhh I really like that. The orange zipper sets it off perfectly!!!
And now that it's done, you can move onto other sweaters!
Nice job, Dani! I understand your issues with the pattern, but what a handsome sweater - gotta love the Manos. Of course now I feel like a big shlump (again with the made-up words...) and must get started on my man's Cambridge Jacket - when he starts reminding you about it, you know it's really been a while! ~gabriella
The cat isn't necessarily thrilled with it either, judging from his/her (?) facial expression.......
I like it. I'd borrow it from him.
It looks really great on him and I love the orange zipper!
It looks great! I love the orange zipper.
oh it looks great! i am working on that for myself! makes me want to try to get it done ;) Scott looks great in it!
Very sharp! I love the orange zipper with the brown. He's a great sport for posing for you too. :-)
