Coat of many colours

Stripy BSJ

Nothing screams "stashbuster" quite like introducing two new colours in the last 8 rows of a project. Still, I think the picked up edging on the neck carries it off.

Pattern: Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmerman
Pattern source: The Opinionated Knitter
Yarn: Rowan Pure Wool DK
Needles: 4mm
Recipient: baby Peter

It's not traditional to blog something before handing it over but I might be seeing Aliki and Peter tonight and I'm hoping that the promise of knitwear will act as an added incentive for them to make it to the pub!

Ha - there's nothing like bribery for getting a result!
