the largest design yet/ the Heartilly sweater chronicle

Twas the night before Christmas and FINALLY all of my knitting was done! So I decided to try my hand at knitting my own cosplay, for a more ambitious project. So over the last month I've been working on my own design of Rinoa's blue duster and arm warmers from Final Fantasy 8. I finished the arm bands about mid-January, and have been taking the back portion of the sweater with me everywhere I go.  Unfortunately I've had a bad month, running back and forth to the hospital (I was in an accident and bruised my neck, the rest of the visits have been for my husband) but the upside of that is that there has been a great deal of waiting room time in which to knit with. As of now the length is from my knee to my waist (not sure the lenth in inches or cm, but I'll have to measure later.) and within a few more inches and I can start reducing the stitches for a more form-fitting shape. This is my first clothing design so I hope it turns out right.
Stay tuned for more updates on my progress on this project!
Cheers!
