Mona's Knitting Room

I'm sorry to say that my digital camera isn't working. Since I think photos are the fun part of blogs, I haven't posted in several weeks. I've received some messages asking what I've been working on, so I thought I'd post photo-less progress reports until I get the camera repaired.

I have been completely obsessing over my Crayon Box Jacket. I now have the entire body of the jacket complete and am knitting the gussets today. I am still considering what I want to do with the bands.

I keep picturing a jacket more than a sweater and want a more tailored look to the edging - something like i-cord. I'll have to keep mulling over this and maybe I can solicit some advice. I also think I want to line the jacket so it hangs more smoothly. Just when you think you're close to finishing...
