No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark

4 bis. Japan Jacket (shadow knitting design by Vivian Høxbro )

Obscure song references aside (it's a gift, it's a curse, depends on whether you view the glass as half empty or half full...), the Japan jacket is *this* close to being done.

Actually, according to the instructions, it *is* done. But. It droops. It just flops open, and it's not a nice kind of flops open. So I just have to decide where to put the loops and buttons. I'm thinking on the lower half, just a couple or three of them, so the top can still flop open, but then it'll look like a collar.

Though I have to say I'm really pleased with how this turned out. Apart from the droopy front, it fits beautifully, and the colours are marvellous.

Not to mention the pleasure of finally (almost) finishing another languishing item. This could be addictive. And there are only so many languishing items in the box....

That really is a beautiful jacket.
You are far too modest about your knitting.It looks great and you're quietly prolific.Enough so to ,amost,make me sulk.
Looking forward to seeing your other wip's as you finish them.
