Notes

8/10: Cuffs done, quick knit. I did both at once so the seaming could be done at once.

12/2: Well, I had to be done for the Ravelympics, didn’t I? :o)
I have made a big effort to finish this before the Ravelympics. I followed the pattern but made the hood app. 5 cm longer because it was very short. My gauge is on the smaller side for rows so I had anticipated this.
I knit the flowers seperately and sewed them all on. It did not take too long and I liked that I had absolutely free hands at placing them.

I am thinking about making an “afterthought pocket” which I have seen on one of the other Sylvis here on Ravelry. I am still considering.
I know I have to make another buttonhole below the lower one because they are to few and too high.
I also thought about making a stem and a flower on one of the fronts but I kind of like the idea that all the “Va-Va-Voom” is on the back and when you see it from the front you have no idea. :o)

Pictures will follow when the light is proper.

I never get to wear this since I think the hood makes it to heavy at the back and it drags the coat backwards. So I am looking for once color versions instead, like this http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Kazyuk/sylvi
