Voila! After knitting the back, one full sleeve and the hem of the other... I got bored. Don't get me wrong, I'll finish it! I just need a break. Too much grey! I'm knitting a quick pink scarf for a little colour relief and should be back to that sleeve in no time.
I had a little trouble figuring out the decreases for the sleeve cap (damn you "at the same time" directions!) but I'm still digging the pattern. I also made a bit of a boo-boo hem-wise. I knit the 4cm of stockinette, then started measuring from 4cm after that. You follow? I'm pretty sure I've mixed this up, and measurements should be taken from just after the stockinette section. I've never knit anything with a hem like this before so I'll blame it on that. Whatever the reason it's no big deal. I'll either have a jacket 4cm longer than the pattern intended, or I can include that extra 4cm in the hem. How have the rest of you handled the hem? Advice would be appreciated!

Hi, I agree with too much grey! I'm knitting the same colour and have finished the back, fronts and almost 1 sleeve - I need a change and have ordered some Rowan Big Wool for a quick fix knit jacket! I also mixed up the measurements from the hem so my jacket will also be 4cm longer - I'm okay with that as I'm 5'8" and it won't look so cropped. I think the second sleeve will need some major focus (probably copious amounts of coffee and chocolate too!) to see it finished. Good luck and think how gorgeous and stylish it will look when finished.
