Finished knit #2

Remember this knit I was making I showed in my previous post? The chick jumper of the 30's that I found over at Subversive Femme?

Edit: This pattern was actually found at Zilredloh! I'm sorry for the mix-up and if someone went looking for this pattern and not finding it.
Both do have a bunch of lovely freebies available!

It's finished!

As I mentioned in my earlier post I used an all cotton yarn from Marks & Kattens. The cotton actually worked out pretty well for this style although I was worried it might turn out too floppy. And the nice thing was that it didn't need to be blocked. That's like the most annoying thing with knitting - right after having to hide the yarn ends in the knit.

The sweater was fun and quite fast to knit and I really like the surface of the moss stitch. The size matches the one given on the instructions, which were mostly easy to follow. 

It didn't go exactly perfect though: The needle sizes in the instructions were British, but I forgot that the larger sized needles are actually the smaller ones, soo I kind of knit the ribbing with the wrong needles and it turned out too lose. Fortunately I found a solution and sew a soft elastic band on the waist on the inside. It works!

The buttons I found on Etsy from AddVintage and they're real genuine 40's! I think I emptied their stock on the red ones, but they do have tons of other nice vintage buttons. I actually bought these to go with the red cardigan from my last post, but the colour didn't match. Fortunately it was a perfect match with this one!

Now what should I knit next. Perhaps this one in moss or olive green?
