Here it is
I believe I am the most unphotogenic person in the world. I literally freeze when I see a camera, and while I look utterly disgusted in the bottom pic, I am actually very happy with how the sunrise finally turned out, after much prodding.
Anyway, I used Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed, in Highland. This is the size 37, with many blocking modifications, and I sewed up the front. I think it may need a little more tweaking - maybe I'll resew the front again.
I used just under 8 balls, which was way under the yarn spec. It's a beautiful yarn, my favourite ever. And thanks to my delightful BF, I now have a closeup of the yarn to show you - not as bright as in daylight, but you can now see some of the flecky tweedy loveliness of it!

That is beautiful - what a gorgeous colour.
Why thanks Anne! In the daylight it is a beautiful Emerald green with pale grey/blue, yellow, light green and navy flecks.
Oooh, very looks comfortable - I look forward to sleeping on it, if you ever take it off.
Why thankyou noisygirl's cat! No chance, none at all, you have your rug!
It looks great. I love the green.
I love it!
I bought my buttons on eBay from a UK seller - here's the link http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Couture-buttons-and-trimmings
They are made from olivewood and were only 35p each!
Thanks Laura - I'm so thrilled that the buttons are out there and still for sale!
looks great - I am going to sew my front up this weekend - think I will wear it more!
Donni - to sew it up I used a kind of matress stitch technique - well, as much as you can do this on a curved angle. I found it best to stitch in from the edge at least a centimetre - so that if there's any 'pullage' when you put it on, you don't see the stitching. I hope this makes sense - if not, please ask!
