Finished knitting up the last little bits and sewing it all together. Result!

Finished knitting up the front. What a relief, only the back to go.

It might not look much like the earlier diagram, but that's alright. It's only a guideline, and I plan to block it into slightly better shape :)

( Pictures! What! )

I've been planning and working on this jumper for over a year now... Finally I promised my mom I'd have it finished for Christmas, and setting some time aside each week seems like the best way to achieve this.

How I'd like it to look:


Notes: If I have enough wool after knitting the main body, I'll add kimono-style sleeves. Will probably sew ribbon through the edges (think Sai in Hikaru No Go). Not terribly sure about the shape of the upper body. I have the obi-waist-ribbon all worked out :) Was originally going to put a mandarin collar but square necks suit me better.
