Naima, At Last!

I started 'Naima' in April and just finished it (although I need new buttons as these are too small and they catch)
 It's Cleckheaton Merino Angora Silk 8ply and feels amazing! Discontinued, the fools!
The Fair Isle is worked in scraps of this and that... fuzzy wuzzy, op shop... Just in time for summer.
