Pattern: Sunrise Circle Jacket by Kate Gilbert
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden, color #226
Needles: Addi Turbo, US 7, 60 inch
Notes/Mods: Added 5 inches to the cast-on for the back piece then decreased back down to the correct number by the time I reached the waist, using the same back dart decrease called for in pattern. The effect of lots of those decrease so closely spaced is kind of like a peplum, rather than the subtle darts the designer intended... unanticipated, but I think it works. Haven't blocked this yet, and am hoping the lower back is less poofy after I do. Omitted the toggle closured called for in pattern, and substituted a purpleheart wooden sweater stick purchased at SAFF from Knitting Notions, but have already lost it at a Halloween party; need to find a new closure!
