Another finished work. This little matinee jacket was started nearly 20 years ago - abandoned when I ran out of wool and the extra ball arrived from the producer after the baby was born. The half finished item has survived three house moves and just deserved to be completed. The second ball a little darker than the first, and there is a bit of a line where the stitches were left on a needle for all that time, but all in all I am pleased with the result. To put away for a great niece or nephew in due course. or maybe given the history it can wait for a grandchild :-)

That's really beautiful. I love the pattern at the bottom.
are you nearly finished my cardy? :)
Don't worry - it won't take 20 years! I have to weave in all the ends which is quite hard to do at night on the black bits - then sew it up and voila - new jersey!
