Happy ZI-Day!

What is ZI-Day, you ask? Why, it's ZIPPER INSTALLATION DAY!

I woke up stupidly early this morning despite having gone to bed around 3.30am because, goddammit, I wanted to get that zipper in! By the way, a sure fire way to get repeatedly laughed at in the garment district is to request a 20" zipper that opens in the bottom and matches this yarn. Hysterical. But the ridicule was worth it :)

Pattern: Dundee from Rowan Classic Weekend (Ravelry)
Yarn & Needles: Cascade 220 Heathers 9451, KP options size 7.


Modifications: I didn't cast off the neck edge as directed but tacked down live stitches to keep the stretch.


Verdict: New favourite thing. Hair got long. Bum got big. LOVE POINTY STICKS AND YARN!
