Pics of FOs

I just posted photos of a couple of finished objects.

This is an aran sweater I finished recently, it's from the only book (The best of Knitters Arans and Celtics) which I've ever made more than one thing from!

is a chunky crochet jacket which I started over a year ago, it's my own design with no sewn seams.http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2506630220071390319MjGRda-Sue W in East Anglia, UK

Hi VP, There aren't any cuffs at all, but the fit is pretty good because the vertical patterning draws in a bit. I was relieved to have got the sleeve length just right, so that I don't miss having cuffs.

those are both lovely. I particularly like the colours you have used for the crochet jacket.

Thanks, it is a nice book IMHO and there is another pattern in there which I'm very tempted to start.

Thanks Bernadette,

I never counted how many different yarns I used, some were two different strands to make the thickness. It was a major relief once the ends were finished off!

Sue, it's Lovely!

I also have a question about your red sweater, picture #1 I think: how is the neckline made there? (I'm somewhere between beginner and intermediate knitter and have a lot to learn)

Thank you,

Yulia

Thanks! I had to go and check that sweater - the neck shaping is fairly standard stuff. The neckband is done by picking up and knitting around the neck opening, then (in the round), purl 2 rounds, K1 P1 rib for 5 rounds, purl for 1 round, K1 P1 rib for 3 rounds, cast off in rib.
