Just in time for the cold, cold rain!

I finished my ChicKami yesterday morning, and am pleased.



This baby is done all in one piece. The hardest part was weaving in the ends, which I should have taken pictures of, because I've never done it so well in all my life. The ends are invisible.



And from the back. Front and back are identical. Next time, I will make it a wee bit shorter, since I usually like my shirts to graze the top of my jeans. I will also make the small size, since this one is on the loose side. It is so comfortable, and I highly recommend the pattern to every knitter in the world!

Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in Blue Slate
Pattern: ChicKami from the ChicKnits site.

I have a daisy on my right shoulder, a pixie on my left arm, a fairy on my back, and a frog on my lower back. The pixie needs a little more oomph. Maybe now that I'm a yarn diet, I can get more ink!

Re: chickami looks great
Thanks for saying that the chickami has a bit of give in the pattern. I myself kinda like the looser look, as I'm in that forty-something age and for that matter, forty chest as well! I think I will order the pattern because up til reading your review I was worrying that perhaps I'd look like a little sausage girl in this cami. Anyhow I'll give it a try now!

Re: ChicKami
Wow, this looks terrific! I just ordered the pattern and have been waffling over the yarn, thanks for reminding me that I've been looking for a project for Cotton Fleece. Good to know about the sizing, too.

Re: ChicKami
I have some Artful Yarns Fable set aside to do another one. The Cotton Fleece is so cozy, I love it!
Thanks for the compliment!
