Burnside Tunic - Part 3

I finished my Burnside Tunic a few weeks ago and I've just been too lazy, I mean *busy* to post.  (yeah, it's a good thing I'm not trying to make a living as a blogger.)

Anyway, last time I posted about this, I had the torso and front complete, but still needed to work the rest of it.

I did manage to work the back up.  I did make a mistake on one of the cables, but I don't think it would be noticed by most people.  It's on the back, so I won't see it. Here is what the finished back looks like.


The front and back were put together with a three-needle bind off.  I think it may have been slightly tight, but still turned out well.  And considering it is hidden by a shawl collar...
And that was the last bit...picking up stitches (evenly) and doing the ribbing for the collar.  I have to say, it turned out far better than I expected.  

It's a bulky fabric, so on me, it isn't the most flattering (my current shape is "round.")  I am not sure how I made this as a small size, knit it loose enough to fit me and still had more than a hank of yarn left over.  Oh well...

Oh one note...this took about a week to dry after I soaked it.  Wool definitely holds water!
