Voila!

I did it!  The sweater is finished!  The boucle yarn got downright tedious ... especially when I realized I made an error about 24 rows back and had to rip it out.  Boucle does not take to unravelling -- at all!  What a bother.  But it's done and on it way to T.O.  Yay!

I put a shirt under it to show that it's a cropped sweater jacket with 3/4 sleeves.  I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Now I'm filling in the gap between projects trying out some pattern stitches.  And, as always, that's done in the form of a dishcloth.  So here's a new discloth pattern.  This stitch gives a very nice texture for a dishcloth.
