Garter Stitch Love Fest
Surprise! This glob of garter stitch is a...
Baby Surprise Jacket! Almost, anyway. I kept waiting to update my blog because I was so close to being finished. I figured I'd wait until I seamed it and added the buttons. And then nearly 2 weeks went by and I still don't know when I am going to go find buttons. So there you have it. My 95% complete BSJ.
I used Noro Silk Garden Lite in color 2015. I wanted to keep the jacket on the feminine side so I cast on using the coral color. Luckily the coral showed up again on the bind off. I am thrilled. It's giving the effect that I was hoping for.
Over all these colors are new for me. They still have the dusty quality that I like, but a bit brighter than normal, plus the striping which isn't typical of my style. I am not usually a fan of yellow and yet I love the stripe of golden goodness in my garter stitch love fest. Yes, love fest. I loved working on this jacket. This is my second BSJ, my first real go with Noro (other than the coffee cup cozies) and I found it all delightful. I hope the recipient feels the same!

This is really cute!! Love garter stitch!
it's fabulous! i really love the striping.
it's so cute! i have still yet to knit with Noro, and this makes it very appealing.
Great colors. Love!
I kinda like it as a blob best. It's looks like a sea creature! Also, I have some randomly coloured buttons in my stash. Maybe I'll bring them along to the bake off....
It looks great! Good luck finding the buttons. If you're ever in the fashion/garment district, there are few great button stores.
I must try this thing called Noro I keep hearing about. Lovely BSJ.
Oh, very cute! Like a little rainbow. I looooooove Noro. Such nice colors, even if you have to pick sticks out of it :)
Oooo, that Noro looks delicious! LOVE the colors.
Annie - it's adorable!!! Makes me want to make one.
I'm sure the recipient will feel the same - it's beautiful :-)
So pretty! I love those colors!!
