A week with Jess...
It is my first week of NaKniSweMo and I have been getting to know a cardy named Jess...I think she and I are going to be fast friends. How fast? Well, I already have a back done.
The pattern calls for a dk weight yarn knit double throughout. So I picked Cashsoft DK yarn in Poison from RY Classic Yarns. Poison is kind of a dark name for this lovely plum color. The basketweave pattern is really fun to knit and produces a nice elastic fabric. This make me hopeful on producing a lovely fitted jacket. We shall see what the upcoming weeks shall bring.EDITED TO ADD: My pics of Jess are coming out WAAAY too purple. When looking at the pictures, just repeat after me, "Plum, plum, plum..."

You are a SPEED DEMON! Keep going--I can't wait to see the finished product (because of course this is YET ANOTHER pattern I have in the queue as well).

You are making great progress on Jess! You may have a finished sweater in a month, after all! Way to go! That color is so beautiful too.

FUN cardi pattern! The basketweave gives it such great texture. It's going to look great in PLUM! ;)

I wonder if it was named after the perfume, Poison? It's a pretty color and looks like a fast knit.

Beautiful!
Since reading your initial post, this design has been on my mind day 'n' night...
And Debby could be right - my Poison bottle is a deep purple/plum colour! Just think, your very own Dior jacket.
