Two months of power knitting and it's finally put together. It feels wonderful to wear, and the yarn isn't as scratchy as I first thought. Instead of the large hood, I did a collar and I'm very happy that I did as it's less bulky in back.
The horn buttons I picked out:
Pattern: Clasica Coat, Interweave Knits magazine, Fall 2009 issue
Yarn: Cascade Yarns - Ecological Wool (colorway 9012) 100% Undyed Peruvian Highland Wool
Needles: 8 & 9's
Now that the "Beast" doesn't hog all my time, I can make a pair of socks for a friend. She's allergic to wool, so the that yarn I'm using is bamboo and nylon. It's very soft, and slippery to work with and I hope they will wear well without bagging out.
So, what's on your needles?
