2nd finish on this project.

The cast off edge along the very long button band, was a design I have never used before, starting with the 1st stitch I cast on 3 in contrast, I then knitted 2 and knitted 2 together, using the last contrast stitch and 1 stitch from the band, I then slid the 3 stitches back onto left hand needle and repeated until all stitches were cast off. Below is the results, 

top is front, 

middle is side, 

and bottom is wrong side, 

it's a brilliant way to cast off, so pretty. 

 The joy of this design has always been the hand dyed yarn from Burrow & Sour, and Drops Baby Merino, both in 4ply, the contrast sings in this work.  

 Lots of garter stitch, which was fun and a nice change from rib. 

 I love the small roll top, very different for me. 

I have not blocked this as yet.

I started knitting this in mid January, the post is here, showing my planning, it a simple garter and stocking stitch design, another knitted neck down pattern. I followed the pattern ensuring I chose the correct size, but as my post here explains, I was really unhappy with the yoke, it felt just too small and defiantly not long enough. So as my Almost, no gone post from Friday 13th March (says it all), I decided I could unpick and start again, sorting the yoke, it is now loose rather than the snug fit of the design, but I wanted to be able to use it on summer evening, like a lightweight jacket.

So I am very pleased, for the 2nd time to show this as a finish.

Now for the Tunisian crochet blanket I have been promising to learn.
