Wheee!

I've decided that in my knitting life, it's okay to be a bit of a show-off. It's actually the only part of my life where I don't feel like I'm being arrogant if I say, "Hey world, look at this! I made it and it's amazing!". Ok, that's a lie. I generally say, "Hey, fellow knitters..." not "Hey world..." and I do still fell a little self-conscious bragging, but I do it anyway.

So, what am I bragging about today? It's my Drops A-Line Jacket. It makes me glad that I live in Scotland. Why, you ask? Because Michigan (USA) where I'm from is still dealing with the heat of summer. The cool (...yeah, ok...and damp) climate in the country I now call home has already allowed me to get some use out of this lovely cardi! I finished it a couple weeks ago, but only just managed to get some photos to unveil it to the world:

It's not that often I feel the yarn and pattern are a perfect match, but this is one of those times. I used Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran and I was gushing about it in a previous post here. It's got such a lovely drape and is really soft. Plus the fact that it's aran weight means it knitted up quickly. I'm kind of an instant gratification sort of gal, so that's a big bonus in my book!

Ok, off to start the Sunday chores so I have the evening free to knit!
