I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. The main appeal for me was how snuggly soft the yarn is. As for the rest, it's pretty basic.
- Pattern: Slimline Jacket by Debbie Bliss from Out of Town collection
- Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Astrakhan. (Although I was knitting to gauge, I needed one extra skein than the pattern called for.)
- Modifications: I added a single crochet border around the collar because it kept curling up on me; the crochet edge seems to have done the trick to fix this.
- Omissions: Buttons! Since it was a straightforward knit, I worked on it when I was with my knitting buddies. Unfortunately, I was soo busy gabbing that I forgot to add buttonholes! So instead I've added a bit of bling in the form of this snazzy silver shawl screw:
Silver shawl screw is from Etsy seller Silversex.

What a perfect fit it is! And it looks so comfy too. The shawl screw finishes it perfectly. Yay for oopsies that work!
I love it! The color is great and it is such a perfect fit! I am so glad you found that last skein of yarn! The silver twist closer is a fun addition!
Well, that is just beautiful, and the fit is so flattering to you. I love it, and I don't even (usually) like pink.
That looks fabulous, I love the shaping on it - fits you perfectly! Great Job.
It looks wonderful, and fits you perfectly!
I love the shawl screw you used :D
It looks fabulous. So cute! I love that idea for the shawl screw...I wonder if I have any sweaters I can do something like that with. I've only used mine on scarves so far!
Wow, it looks wonderful. The shawl pin is the perfect closure for the sweater too. I love it!
