This was another unfinished project that I picked up after several months and polished off. I used some old skeins of Patons La Laine, which was one of the first 100% wool yarns I ever bought, and which I wish was still in production. It made a beautifully soft garment, and I was very pleased with the look of the finished jacket.

One of the nice surprises was the effect of the slipped stitch edging on the garter stitch. I’m not sure how I managed to knit for twenty years without having ever done this, but I was really surprised at the beautiful, neat edging the slipped stitch gave to the garter stitch.
