Finally! It took two sick days spent in bed with two seasons of Weeds to get all the loose ends tucked away. I'm still not completely satisfied. The front openings of the sweater are curling away from me like a mofo. I'm gonna need to either go back to the blocking board or sew a lining in. I also think my short rows look kinda messy, and I wish I had done the sweater in darker color palette overall to hide the chunky short rows better.
I am happy with it overall. The knitting was really fast and enjoyable and I love how the changes in color define the shape of the jacket.
Details: Pattern by Shiri Mor from Vogue Knitting winter 2007/8, smallest size. 7 skeins of Cascade Superwash in aran, white, charcoal, and black purchased from Knitty City. I only used superwash because I liked the colors the shop had in superwash better than those in 220.

What a cool pattern! I especially like the garter rings around the shoulders.
Squee!!!!! I love it! I just saw it over on Ravelry and had to pop on over here to tell you that I love it.
And I second the comment about the garter rings.

It looks amazing in the photos!! What a unique design and it looks great on you!
It looks amazing! love that last picture of you, it's magazine/model quality! I know what you mean about short rows, I'm always disappointed with how messy mine look, too. I've been wanting to experiment with the Japanese method of short rows- they do something that doens't involve wrapping the stitch.
