Please excuse the lack of makeup and 10 *cough20cough* pounds that have attached themselves to my body.
I decided to make buttonholes and add buttons instead of just using a sweater clasp. You can see that I didn't place them evenly. Oops! Ask me if I care.
Christina, do you care?
Why no, no I don't! I'm leaving it the way it is.
I used 10 balls of Jaeger Roma in the color Cloud. I added more repeats to the pattern to make the bottom and sleeves longer.
So, my one year bloggiversary is coming up in September. I want to have a give away but am stumped as to what to have for a prize? A purse? Ami? Yarn? Weigh in peeps and let me know what you'd like to see as a prize.
P.S. - I booked a mini vacation today! My family is going to go to the Jersey shore later this month for 3 days. Its the first time in years that I'll have gone away. Wooooo! Excited!

Where on the shore?
It's a beautiful jacket! And you know I'm pretty sure I own professionally made stuff that positions the top two buttons close together like that.
Oh wow look at Christina with her sexy self :)SMILE Loving your jacket it's about time I see you do a wearable for yourself. YAY everyone better watch out now lol. Great job you did.
Oh wow your blog will be 1 soon. So hummmmm how about a purse love your purses.:)
That seemed fast, I am thinking of making a similar jacket but using thread...
Lovely jacket, the buttons look just right ;)
Beautiful jacket! The buttons are a "design feature". Yeah. :)
Blog prize? I say an ami, only because I want to win and I can't make those things to save my life. :)
And the shore? Near me?
The jacket is gorgeous, and you look lovely in it. :-) The not so even button placement just adds to it's charm! ;-)
I think an ami prize would be good. It's so popular right now.
Wow- the sweater is gorgeous! I love that pettern stitch, and the white with the darker shirt underneath really makes those shells pop.
Hope the mini-vacation is going well!
fabulous, as always! and I love the uneven buttons, missy!
Love this! What a pretty pattern. I would have never noticed the buttons had you not said anything, and I wouldn't care about it either. I think it is georgous! Congrats on the one year anniversary of your blog. Quite a milestone. I'm sure what ever you come up with for a giveaway will be fantastic.
What a beautiful jacket! You did a great job. I love it. And I doubt I wouldn't have noticed the buttons being off if you hadn't mentioned it.
Pretty Jacket!
ok that is just so pretty!!!! I absolutely love it!!!! You did a great job on it.
That is a beautiful sweater. :)
I love your sweater/jacket!
