I love knitters. This weekend Thumper and I went to a gathering of knitting friends. Of course someone asked what I was knitting, and when I replied “the Sunrise Circle Jacket,” everyone in the room let out a collective gasp and then a sigh. Seriously. It was a lovely moment. Oh, the awe and reverence a special pattern can inspire, hunh?
Fiber was found. Spinning is happening. Photos when I remember to get new batteries for the camera.
(including photos of two mini skeins of abandoned singles that I found on the bobbins, each having sat there well over two years. Half-empty orphan bobbins. Such a sad thing.)
You know what’s funny, when I saw “Sunrise Circle Jacket” in the preview for this post, I mentally let out a gasp and a sigh. At my desk 🙂
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Gasp and sigh as well. I often think about knitting a second one. It was so much fun to knit, and I love to wear it now it’s getting cold.

That is such a great pattern! You have been wanting to make that sweater a long time so I imagine you are really going to enjoy knitting it.
I can’t wait to see your spinning! Your singles were well aged…like a fine wine.

i love that jacket too. You’re right, knitters are wonderful people, you’re so lucky to go to gatherings with a roomful of them!

You know what’s especially cool? That we all knew what it was without having to ask. Ah, fibery friends are the best.

My orphan bobbins are older than your orphan bobbins….

Gasping and sighing over the jacket and the Thumpster. Glorious smile of a young man. Lovely to meet you both (and the jacket).

Hi, found your site by searching for the “Jacket with Ribbed Collar” by Debbie Bliss. You were working on it a long time ago and I am just now starting it. I need help with size 🙂 What size did you make? Do you have FO pics?
I am SO confused with which size to make, and I started hunting on the net for FO pics so I could see the fits on other people. Unfortunately, there aren’t many results on the search.
If you could give me some ideas, I’d surely appreciate it. Sorry for leaving this in the comments, I couldn’t find a email link 🙂
