This meant I was soon onto the colossal job of sewing it all together. It had felt like a blanket when I was knitting it, but even more so when I was sewing it together. As you can see, Tugger thought it was all for his benefit. I was actually sewing the sleeves in here.
Here it is all sewn up and waiting for buttons. The sleeves look so short in comparison, I had doubts they were long enough. I tried it on to make sure. I had forgotten, this was a long jacket, and it is just like a blanket. I will be able to wrap myself up in it quite happily.
I then made a start on B's gloves. I have never knitted using double pointed pins, so I wasn't sure what this was going to be like. In the end, once you get into a rhythm, it is not too bad at all. Not sure if I like it enough to start knitting socks!
I wonder how long it will take me to knit two pairs of gloves?

Beautiful cat. The sweater is pretty too!. As for knitting in the round, it's contagious. I adore hand knit woolen socks. My feet stay warm all winter. The other benefit is that it's usually only a 1 skein commitment and therefore, easy on the budget.
Very cute cat and a lovely jacket...jus tthe thing for hte weather this weekend!
lol
well done - it looks great and very warm. do we get to see you modelling it?
Can imagine how warm and cosy this jacket!
When I was a kid I used to knit on 4 double-pointed needles for my dolls. I knitted them couple of tiny socks. But know I don't even remember hot to do it.
What a beautiful coat. I love it. The yarn is a lovely choice.
