Pattern:- Sunrise Circle Jacket by Kate Gilbert from Interweave Knits Spring 2006. (This is an interesting and unusual pattern and I loved how it all came together.)
Yarn:- I used 4 skeins of Patons Classic Wool.
Colour:- Black Tweed
Needles:-I used sz#5 's (I thought I had gauge using sz#6 needles and knit the back. The back was bigger than the given measurements in the pattern, so I re knit it using #5's) I didn't realise that it wasn't me who was off; it was the pattern. If I had done the fronts first and then done the back to match. Oh well...it's finished now. Should have checked on Ravelry.
The pattern had row by row instructions and was easy to follow. I dreaded finishing....the one reason "I am not a sweater knitter"...but everything lined up and looks good. (Whew..just me wiping the sweat from my brow.)
I decided not to bother with buttons.
Happy knitting.
