Pattern: MoreStripes
Yarn: Tonalita by Trendsetter 3 balls each...the colors are on Ravelry.
Needles: US 7's throughout.
Begun: August 2007
Finished: January 2008
Notes: It really didn't take that long to knit. It took me that long to get my sewing machine out to work the steek. Someone on ravelry said she frogged the ribbing at the neck to make it lay flat. I was a bit worried after I read that, but I love the way it rolls. Especially at the back of the neck. I only knit 6 rows then bound off on the wrong side.
I wish it was a bit longer, but after I loose 10 pounds it will hang longer. I made it to match the size under my bust, like the pattern calls for, knowing that I still have a bit of roll around my belly from kid #3. That will go this year. It WILL! So, I give you these artsy front shots because the straight on front shot looked horrible with all the horizontal stripes. I'm pretty impressed with my self photography. These shots came out better then when I had M take some in the yard. 
And the Viking Ship necklace...that belonged to my Gram...who taught me to knit.
