It's finished. :) I stayed up until 10:30 last night fiddling with the seams so I could wear it today. (Which really is late if you consider that I get up at 4am)
I took this picture in a rush this morning while I was getting ready for work so I've vainly chopped off my wet hair and red devil eyes, lol. Overall I'm pleased with it, with a few minor annoyances. The back looks better than the front... I think I'm going to stick with knitting the front of garments last in the future when possible ;) There is also a slight extra bulge of fabric on the side of the bust by the arm holes.. perhaps I only needed one set of short rows? Perhaps I'm being a bit hyper critical though... I think it fits me better than most clothing I've bought for myself. I'd love to make another one with a more forgiving yarn, maybe that new stretchy cotton from elann, or a thin merino.
I didn't have a chance to get any knitting together to bring to work today... I feel naked without my needles!
