I promised to take a picture wearing the pinwheel coat so here it is completed and being worn!!
Details:
Pattern Name: Pinwheel Sweater (Adult)
Designer: Shelley Mackie
Pattern Source: Elann.com
Date started: 28/09/09
Date finished: 23/10/09
Yarn: All from stash most now discontinued
Needles: 6mm
Comments: I used a heavier yarn and bigger needles than stated because I wanted a coat rather than a cardigan, certainly something that would keep me warm for the coming winter. I also omitted the yarn overs after the first colour change, for the same reasons. I enjoyed knitting this, even when it got to over 400 stitches! Brilliant stash buster!!!!
Snow ball Scarf
Well, I saw this stuff when I was at Ally Pally in October and walked swiftly by thinking, never, never, never. However, when my local yarn store stocked it, I thought, mmmm. But each time I went in, the stuff (I can't bring myself to call it yarn just yet) kept calling to me. I gave in a bought a ball on Monday. I had a free morning today and one hour later after twisting on 5 stitches, I had a snuggly, warm scarf!! What more can I say?

I knitted a few of those scarves last year, oddly addictive, but I still can't say that I love the novelty yarn. Given to my two young nieces, right up their street! Love the jacket, just what you need in this weather!
Love your pinwheel. It looks even better in real life, it really brightens up a gray winters day.
Almost caved in at the yarn store - managed to resist.
The pinwheel jacket does look beautiful. I knitted some of those scarves earlier this year, quite addictive and they dont feel too bad wrapped around your neck.
