This pattern has been waiting for it’s turn in my queue for ages… And the yarn was purchased way back in November 2010 - for this project!

It took a bit longer than expected, with breaks for other projects - but I’m totally in love with the final result. Even the (so feared by others) finishing with four needles hanging from the project was a pleasure. As I’ve made two Mini-Manu by this time, I love those small details and even if they were time-consuming, they were totally worth it.
I’ve tried Sunday short rows for the first time - and the result is MUCH nicer than wrap-and-turn.

Only mods were a bit shorter body and longer sleeves. I made the sleeves acc. to the pattern in the beginning, but had to add some extra length afterwards.

Used up all 7 skeins, only app. 5 m left
