yay for FO's

Remember this post from over a year ago? yeah, well I steeked the front, and hand sewed the zipper in and its done. It's my longest project ever. and nearly the most expensive. this stupid, and by stupid i mean favorite, project took TEN balls of Watercolors.
It knit up super fast, but I ended up re doing the sleeves because the pattern i used was all jacked up and way too tight and short for the rest of it. and i re did the front piece becasue i needed it to be one whole piece so i could steek it. So really i just used the picture as inspiration. Pictures tonight. Really.
