30th October 2011:

We have had a sunny and warm autumn day in Madrid, time for me to take my Vitamin D out before the cold winter comes!

It has been a real pleasure to knit this beautiful design, I think that it is one of the best written patterns that I have ever worked with.

I have followed the instructions strictly. Only the sleeves are longer than the original ones. As I didn’t have a 3.25 mm circular needle, and was afraid that a 3 mm needle would bee too thin, I knitted the front and neck trim with the same needle size than the jacket itself; now I think that it would have looked nicer with the 3 mm needle. But I am happy with the result anyway.

I am already thinking of making another Vitamin D in black colour, but I would like to find another, a bit more drapy yarn. And perhaps I will make it in size M1 instead of S.
