And finally, she’s done.

\nThis is possibly the most time any garment has taken me. According to Ravelry, I started it in mid-August, and finished it on Monday, December 14. Four months! Thanks, TAFE.

\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Venezia<\/a> by Eunny Jang, from Interweave Knits Winter 2006
\nYarn: Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumperweight<\/a>. I’ve listed all the colour subs on the Ravelry project page.
\nNeedles: KnitPicks Harmony, 2mm, 2.25mm and 2.5mm.
\nPattern Mods: None. I do wish I’d made it a little longer, I think my row gauge was a little too tight, but it’s still wearable.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIn the end, I had almost two whole balls of the edging colour left over, but I ran short of two colours on the second sleeve. I knit the 34.5″ size, and needed to get an extra ball each of the 106 Mooskit and the 183 Sand equivalents. I was only about 3 metres short for the Sand!
\nDavid and Emily bought me the yarn for my birthday back in May, and I reordered those two colours about 3 weeks ago – and they were exact dyelot matches! Even though it wasn’t totally necessary in the Fair Isle. I’ll never have that kind of luck again.

\nIt’s going to be wonderfully warm – I had it on for about 5 minutes for the photo shoot and couldn’t bear it another minute. (It was about 30C!) Emily took some pictures in the morning, then in the afternoon, Ailsa<\/a> took a bunch more for me. There are a heap more on Ravelry<\/a>.
