I absolutely loved knitting this pattern! Kate Davies is a brilliant designer, and I have about 5 more of her projects in my queue waiting to be cast on. :-)

One thing I would point out about this pattern is the arms seem a bit small. I have short arms, so the length was perfect for me. For a normal person however I think you would need to add an inch or two. Also, the fit is a bit snug in the upper arm area where it joins to the body. That may have been due to me knitting the colour work too tightly, but is still something to be aware of.

The City Tweed from Knit Picks was a lovely yarn to work with. I have knit with it before, so knew it would be a good choice for this pattern. My first choice would have been to go with the yarn Kate used in the original Boreal, but it was not going to be easy to get in Canada, and I couldn’t find a place online to order it from. At least not one that had the colours I wanted. I think the City Tweed was a good alternate.
