WIP: Seed Stitch Jacket

I had five hanks of cream Burly Spun which I bought for what I thought was going to be my first sweater (the Lion Fisherman shrug). I went to a lot of trouble to find the right yarn for that sweater, and out of it all I will end up with a very fuzzy poncho (that rose poncho in Yukon) and now a bulky cardigan hoodie. That first pattern was a bad choice...even with more experience, I don't think the end result will be worth the trouble even though I like the way it looked.

This is a pic from the magazine, Vogue Knitting Winter 2004/2005















I have the body and half of one sleeve done. I'll probably need to block it into shape before I sew it together since I still suck at seaming.















Here's the Manos scarf that I made for myself, using the Yarn Harlot One Row pattern. I love this thing, and I am so glad I didn't return the yarn. The one end looks a lot lighter in the pic, but in real life you can't tell when I am wearing it. If I did it again, I would alternate rows from the different hanks to blend it together. It doesn't bother me enough to do it over, though.
