First FO of 2008

My second FO was finished about a week ago and the recipient was very pleased. In fact he was forced to admit he was impressed (which is a lot better than what he said about the chunky scarf I knitted him last year which ended up going to charity)! Anyway, here it is:

Pattern: My Own

Yarn: Sublime Extra fine merino silk

Needles:

Size made: Large

The other man in my life wore his classic jacket I made him yesterday. Keeping him to keep still was something of an impossibility though. This was in fact my first FO of 2008 (I finished it on January 1st after starting it several months ago). I made tons of mistakes but am quite pleased with how it looks. I'm the only who knows about all the bits that went wrong!
