Finally, I have attached the buttons and she's all done. Here's a closeup of the sleeve and front. This was taken inside with the flash, but looks pretty true-to-life.

A pose on the blocking board. I am going to do one more blocking - I still haven't blocked the front bands and that yarn hasn't been washed so I'm sure a blocking is needed.

And for the nosey people - an inside shot showing the totally woven in ends, even on the little squares. I haven't woven them all in, just the ones at the front edges which might show if the sweater is left open.

This is the Knitting Bag Jacket from Sally Melville's book The Knitting Experience: Color. Knit in Jamieson's DK Shetland wool. I forget what size needle. Whoops, so much for paying attention.

I like it. It's cropped, which I didn't think about before starting. If I had, I would have done a few more pattern repeats before starting the sleeves. All in all, I think it will be a great sweater for winter, and with all the tees I picked up at Target in the spring and last winter that are almost the same colors as the sweater.
