I’ve also casted off Sunshine’s Kimono Jacket. It was a quick knit and accompanied me on my bus and train trips to work.
Name of project: Kimono Jacket for Sunshine
Yarn: 3 x Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Purple ( 55% merino wool, 33% microfibre, 12% cashmere)
1 x Debbie Bliss Astrakhan in White ( 55% merino wool, 33% microfibre, 12% cashmere)
Needles: Knitpicks Nickel Plated 5mm
Cast on date: 11 May 2008
Cast off date: 21 May 2008
Learned: Nothing. 
I’m good!
Modifications: Used a thinner yarn but bigger needles. Used two different types of yarn in different colours instead of just one colour.
Mistakes: None! I’m damn good!
Did you know that if you wear a Kimono, you’ll have to wrap the left side OVER the right?
Right on top of the left is only used when you want to dress a corpse for burial. So people with intentions of knitting Kimonos, please take note!
With this, I end my rantings. I’ve written 3 blog posts in a day. That’s a great accomplishment for me! Remember to scroll down to read the other posts!

Oh Jolene….Sunshine is just sooooo sweet. The little kimono isn’t too shabby either
Your swallowtail is great…..your Mum is going to love it. You know I’m always amazed at seeing how blocking makes such a difference.
If your house has power surges at all you really should have your computer on a power board Jolene…it will save you lots of $$ in the end.
Lots of love, hugs & prayers coming your way!!!!

Pam: Thank you, thank you!!!
Lois: Hehehehe… Thank you Lois… I have to blog about sheepy soon. I’ve forgotten about him! Hehehe. Yep. We have the computer on the power surge boards but it didn’t help. Or maybe it was only a coincidence that it conked out? The electrician came this morning and fixed everything. The fuse outside the house was blown so he just needed to change it.

Love that blue! (And the baby is pretty cute too.

[...] I must mention one thing about Kimono styled tops. I think I wrote about this before in the Kimono Jacket post that Kimonos are worn with the left side OVER the right [...]
