Finished!

Yay!! It is done! I have had a hard time with this jacket. I used two different dye lots for the back and had to re do it, I learned how to do a hem, I did a lining, and i could not find the right button, so I had to PAINT one. But.. IT IS DONE! I still don't know how I feel about it, and you guys can read my rantings and ravings on my blog (I am too lazy to recreate right now :) ) But I am proud of myself for the work I did, which has to count for something - right?

I also want to say this is my first time doing a KAL and I LOVED it. I got inspiration and push to keep trying and going and cannot wait to see more finished results! Thanks ladies!

It's gorgeous Paloma, I love it. I think you did a fabulous job.

Thanks for your inspiration. I finally picked up my jacket last night. Eventhough I only managed to knit a few rows, but it's sure make me feel better :)
