"Tricolore" finished

I finally finished that triple-color jacket. Here pics from front- and backside. I was inspired by an old pattern book and adjusted the pattern to the amount of yarn I had. Well, I think the result is not tooo bad. I crocheted the edges as usual, due to better fit. The buttons are old and decorated originally a white westover.

Knitting time: March 10th 2008 - April 27th 2008

Material: ca. 700g Schachenmayr Storia (47% pure wool, 28% polyamid, 25% microfiber, running length 105m/50g) with needle no. 4,0 mm and crochet hook no. 4,0 mm

My Jacket..

..I'm not so happy with it, as I should be, and I cannot find out, what the problem is. The yarn is alright, it knits perfectly. Okay, the pattern is adjusted to the amount of material I had, but I mean, it doesn't look too bad. Anyway, I'm not going to rip it again. See, what happens, when I've finished....

...by the way...

..I frogged the Kyoto, after Miss Sophie used it as a temporary bed. I wasn't happy with it anyway, and so the decision was easy. Now I found a pattern in an old book that inspired me, and I knit a rhombus-pattern, in order to make it not so boring, as to knit plain stockinette. And I decided to knit a jacket, the back is already finished. Hope that I will not run out of yarn, since it are only leftovers. Otherwise I will have to rip again.....
That does not mean that the Kyoto is out of sight. I found material in my stash that is almost the same green color as the original, and it matches much better with the pattern....
