And then, suddenly, finished.
Project Details:
Pattern: Elvira, all grown up - Rasmilla designs. I made the third size up.
Yarn: 2 skeins of Wollmeise Twin - Kurbis. One bought from Wollmeise, one bought from a desperate Ravelry plea. There may be enough left over for maybe one more row, but definitely no more.
Modifications: None to speak of. I made a mistake reading the pattern for the neckline, and as a result it's garter not stocking stitch, and I think it's a row short, but it still looks good.
Notes: Not a really quick knit, but an easy one with a great result. The Wollmeise yarn is beautiful to knit with, the resulting fabric is cottony and light, and the colour is gloriously intense. Actually, I probably could have made a size smaller, there's a lot of swing!
And now, to find the right pair of dark indigo linen pants to go with it!

I'm tempted to make one myself - don't worry we won't both end up wearing it to the same place!

Wow, it looks amazing, and there is no discerable difference between the skeins. I love it, and you will just need to make the perfect pants.
