The Cape Collar Jacket
Pattern: Cape Collar Jacket from Winter 2007/2008 Vogue Knitting. Massive pattern modifications due to the pattern being...well...extremely stupid.
Yarn: Harris Tweed and Knitwear DK(ish) wool. Took a while to get here (er, after it was shipped off to the US...sort of my fault. They were very gracious though and sent me the second order at no added cost. Very sweet! It wasn't too rough to work with, being 100% wool, and washed up very soft.
Needles: Knit Picks Options, size 4 for the seed st and size 8 for the cables.
Time taken: Exactly two months.
Verdict: Love it. Hated the seed stitch, hated the pattern, love the sweater.
