Beeyootiful jacket. Good for getting out and about, I bet, in the kind of weather we've been having. Is it just me, or are your buttons sort of.........nipplish?!

Like I've said before, that yarn is the eighth wonder of the friggin' world!! I love that it's such a diamond in the rough because people walk right past it everyday as they stampede to other yarns. Webs isn't so much a yarn store as a fiber feeding frenzy.

That is gorgeous on you ! A wonderfully successful knit. I admit to twinges of jealousy. ;-]

Hi there - I am new to your blog. I printed out the pattern for the sunrise circle jacket - I too think Katie Gilbert is a freaking genius. It is an inspiring thing to behold - great color, great yarn!

Posted by: Sonya

I love it! That is a great color too.

Posted by: Lauren

It's great! No wonder you're so happy with it. Beautiful job, Cari! (Maybe I should dig out that first sleeve-and-front I finished last summer...)

Posted by: Kathy

Now I have to cast that on, you temptress.

Posted by: Juno

Awesome. I'll admit I was weirded out by this sweater, but I doubt Kate's genius no more. It looks beautiful.

Posted by: jodi

Looks awesome Cari! you've got me started on all sorts of projects. geesh. thank you.

I'm afraid that you've just increased my sample (n) by one (n+1) and the results continue to be the same: I haven't seen a Sunrise Circle Jacket that I haven't loved. It looks great on you, and the buttons look like they fit the bill of unexpected by lovely.

I'm very very very very very very close to Webs this month...where in the warehouse is this coned yarn?

Posted by: Kristen

Oooh! I love it!
