So in an effort to clear the decks before I start anything new, I am making a solemn vow to work through as many as possible during November.
To that end, please indulge my appalling self-portrait photography and let me present the first FO from the basket - my Sunrise Circle Jacket (Kate Gilbert, Interweave Knits)
I used Cleckheaton Country Silk, 4.5mm circ's, and the temporary button is one from my Nana's button box* which she kindly left to me. I only want to fasten the jacket in one place, rather than four, as in the original pattern, so I've converted the button to a brooch.
*(oh the treasures - Nana had an obsession with mother-of-pearl buttons and used to scour op-shops wherever we went! Coincidently, her surname was "Button", too)

Oh well done! That's a gorgeous knit that you can now wear - and don't we have the weather for it!
Nice jacket! Having just the one button makes it hang perfectly :-)
