Three Colors for the Baby Jacket

Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket (here is the first link) is in progress.

This is the basic yarn used for the EZ SBJ; 100% superwash merino wool, in the Tuscany Colorway, a hand dyed fiber from ShopYarnLove.

The other two added yarns are DK weight wool in lavender (10% cashmere) and another skein in rose/purple from New Zealand that incorporates possum fur into its merino wool.

Colors did not show true in the picture below, but I wanted to play with picnik, a program that allows tweaking of photos, including borders, text, colors, etc. Here is the picnik picture:


This shows the lavender yarn just being incorporated into the sleeve area above the cuff. It is an innovative pattern, complete with instructions available on You Tube here:

The videos (there are six of them) surely help in figuring out this challenging pattern. Kudos to L2Belt on YouTube for this step by step assistance.
