what good timing...the weather down here is freezing, the gas supply to the state is in disarray, but i have a new winter woolly to keep me warm. finished at last. this wool is sooo lovely to work with, and the colours in it are divine. i am off to gather some more Jo Sharp Yarn...unless anyone can suggest something better to use...
the pattern...now that's another issue...it is on the large side, but i kept stitching hoping all was well and then had gone too far to undo it. i wanted a jacket though, to wear over other things, so in that regard, i think it makes the grade.....if i did it again i would knit down a size....and yes i did a tension square for the first time in my life!!
it took three goes at buying the buttons
clearly i am not the only one that likes Jo Sharp's wool
they are seriously good to use, but they really come into their own on windows and glass. no streaks, not ever. i have glass splash backs and a wall of full length windows, trust me I know! i have given a few of these away tied with some olive oil soap and they make a great gift.
