Zipper Mojo with a touch of a Sunrise Circle....

All the seams are done on Oranje!

It fits me nicely too, although it's 100 degrees and humid outside, so, kind of hard to get a shot.  I will do it at some point tho.  

All I have left to do is the zipper.

I actually had a nice black zipper picked out, but somehow in the knitting when I decided it would be awesome to make this a little longer, I forgot that the zipper could not also comply.  Doh!

So I found this big bundle of coat zippers I bought for cheap at a rental unit sale and decided to dye one black.  It was a little on the long side, but ve have vays of making ze zippers shorter.  It didn't dye well, kind of like a darkey brown.  ugh.  Here they both are.  Wouldn't the black one be so much better?

And then something weird happened.  As I was lamenting the black zipper and laying it up against Oranje, it was long enough.  Huh?  What just happened?  I think the knitting fairies visited me.  I am in the process of basting it on now.

Oh - and since I was doing all that seaming, I decided to finish my Sunrise Circle Jacket that's been sitting for a year.  oops.

and I even had the frog closure for it laying in the basket.  Have no idea when I got that, but fabulous find!  LOL

Now... if only it wasn't hot as Hades outside I would have more pics.....
