What the friday?

 As I said, in these posts I will show you some of the forgotten UFO-s I found, while cleaning out and reorganizing a bunch of boxes full of yarn, and other stuff.

Now, what would you do, if you'd find something like this? 

I totally forgot this, but how can someone forget something that is almost done?  Only missing the two sleeve edge? 

Yes, there is a story for this one...

Back, when the book publishing company (with a great selection if craft books) took over the yarn store named Barka, they contacted me, that they would like to work with me... And would I be up to design and knit a smal booklet thematic booklet. 

Let me think I said, and in a few days, came up with the Knitted Stripes theme, with pieces from a simple hat/scarf/mitt set through a bolero, to a tunic and a few more pieces.

I even started working on the knits, I knitted the hat, the scarf (never photographed, and now I do not have it, I might knit something similar to them, because they were simple but nice).

And the tunic.

It was to be kind of simple, a raglan, a wide neck, with a deep, folded collar.

However, in the meantime, I felt disppointed, in how they dealt with some things, especially money.

I do not want to get into details, let's just say, my enthusiasm was severly dampened. 

And then they closed the store, and cut back severly on their craft books, and that was it. 

Most probably something more interesting came up, and It was... Not a good feeling to deal with this piece.

Now, when I took a good look at it, I think, it actually WAS a good idea, I still like how the yarns and the stripes work together. 

Now, I should like to finish it, the only question is the size, as I am bigger now, then when I started it.

I still think I will finish, if it will not fit me, I will give it away.

I even found the yarn that I need for it.
