Squares Jacket

Comfy jacket of alpaca and left-over stuff. All horrid pics because I'm lazy. Someday when I'm home I'll fix this. I knitted most of this at CP Sola, where I had to hike this in from PB 2. Had I know we were TABing, I would not have brought it. Alas, the lads there were entirely amused by seeing 1) girls and 2) knitting. This cardigan makes me think of the SF guy who shared our accommodation. I spoke with him about his rifle (it was American). A few days after that we left, and he lost one of his feet in in IED.
The cardigan, however, it two squares joined at the back with sleeves knit in. Here you can see the arm pit where I just knitted into the garment and added the sleeves. I've worn this a fair bit, and the right hand hem is fuzzed-out from getting caught on the velcro of my holster. My bad.
In my "pod".

Vitamin D

More bad pics, but I'll address that at a later date. This is my Vitamin D knitted with BMFA Sea Silk in Ramabala, or: blue. Wonderful knit, but the yarn purls. I like it anyway, the drape is amazing.
