finally finished knitty's kyoto

[elisha]

phew! lots of tiny stitches and double seed stitch! and i seemed to have lost our other thread (a knit-along in the future projects section)
so here is my kyoto - the pattern is free at this link: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTkyoto.html. i just finished it last night. i used a beautiful cotton and made the size medium. i followed the instructions exactly (except that i knitted the sleeves in the round and made the 'sash' a little longer)


and here is a detail of the neck and arm:

this was a great project and i think came out really nicely!

Elisha -- your kyoto came out great! Fits nicely, too. What yarn/colors did you use? Congrats! Looks so professional!

Phew and Yay!!  I was wondering how you were doing with this...  I'm glad you've finished, it looks lovely!  Not at all skin tight like you were worried about, either

Great job, Elisha  I really really like the colour combination you chose! Must feel really nice to have accomplished that!

beautiful!  It's times like these I wish I had the time to do other people's patterns!

[Gertie_T]

Awesome job! I LOVE it. I've been eyeing that pattern for a long time myself. It's great to see how beautifully it turns out!

Elisha it is simply divine!


I really want to make this but I petrified!

Boo -
It's actually an easy pattern, and I've seen the stuff you've done - you can handle it!  We all have faith in you.  I think it's just a little tedious, as I'm sure elisha can vouch for!  Actually, elisha inspired me to wear mine today and I think I love it even more!  Good job, elisha... and Boo, can't wait to see yours!
