That turned out great! How long did it take you from start to finish? I am only 10" into the back of mine, and trying to plug along.

chris: i started it in early july i think but then i took a two week break from it to finish a shawl. so maybe 6 weeks of working on it almost everyday. it's a lot of stockinette. i started learning how to read and knit at the same time and this helped.

looking forward to seeing yours when it's done.

WOW! It's done! I imagined it longer and with more drape, but it looks very neat and fitting on you - I guess how much you felt decides the final size shape? You must be so pleased with it!

alison: yes my jacket is both shorter and narrower than the pattern. the narrower part was planned as i didn't want a baggy garment i cast on fewer stitches than the pattern called for. as it turned out i could have made it bigger and it would have been fine.

the shorter part wasn't planned. had hope it would be a bit longer but i felted it pretty hard.

yes, i'm very happy with this one. i love how light it feels while still being warm.

Michele - Your jacket is stunning. I got my kit & made a swatch, but not getting gauge. I noticed you went up a needle size. I may try that. I would like this to turn out a bit roomier. I meant to order the large size, but forgot. I wonder about adding stitches? What's your take?
