Whoa! Can't touch this! Even Hammer can't touch this artful striped jacket being modeled by its maker. The 'artful' part is due to Noro Kureyon yarn. The yarn's random striping, skeins with knots, no two skeins exactly alike, and my spit splices left the outcome a mystery even to me.
I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. I made a very large size and found that it was ideally roomy even with a shirt and a velour big shirt layered under it.
After some initial silliness with the photographer/husband I tried to spruce up, sober up and strike a pose. How's this?
Uh-oh! Does it make me look fat? I don't care! I'll look slimmer after I wrap it around me and close it with a shawl pin.
Wooohooo! Finished!! Ain't no stoppin' me now!!!

Hi!
Love it to death!
I'm a BIG Noro fan and have about 20 skeins aging in my yarn room, so how many skeins and what pattern did you use?
