(pictures before the weaving in, as evidenced by the long flyaway in the left picture. Also note Andy's shadow, taking the picture)
Finished last week sometime! The sewing-up was actually kinda fun, once I got into it, though it took longer than I'd hoped. It came out pretty well fitted, overall - I'm glad I made the Small instead of the Medium, even though it was supposed to have 5" negative gauge. Either my gauge loosened up or (more likely) the cotton-acrylic blend stretched a bit. It's easy to find flaws with it, of course - my cables aren't symmetric, the design doesn't have any shaping to the back so it's kinda baggy, and of course, a tank top in worsted-weight is a tad heavy.
But overall I'm happy with it. Yay, first big project, done! and wearable! Let's see what Sasha thinks!
hmm, what is this thing? Oh, of course, it's a cat bed!

Hi, found you via the Fall into Autumn swap.
Your kitty Sasha looks like a littermate to my kitty Drake:

LissaDora, Drake looks like such a sweetie! Does he like to sit on knitting too?
