The Market Jacket.

...yes, friends, I hinted it would be coming. and indeed, it's here. my first sweater of 2013.

to say I am immensely pleased would be an understatement.

Tanis Gray designed a beauty and wrote a pattern that was a dream to knit. really. it was fun -  a little bit of thinking wrapped inside a lot of straight stockinette (my favorite recipe right now!). top down means easy to customize and I did. (just a little - modifications are on my ravelry page)

I wore it yesterday with skinny black pants and a black turtleneck...and pearls (of course!)
the whole outfit...

thanks to Kathie for the sweater photos!

...but I think it will be just as nice with jeans or a skirt.

    1. Thanks, Margene - those mods are so easy in a top-down seamless sweater. I think that's why it's my favorite construction method!
