This is my last finished project of 2014: the Warm & Fuzzy Coat from Pickles.
It is knit in one strand of Pickles Tweedy (the yarn called for) and two strands of Blackhill Silk Mohair (a substitute for Pickles Big Fuzz since yarns with a synthetic content is a complete no-go in my book for anything other than socks). Both yarns are highly recommendable.
I followed the pattern completely except for omitting a few centimetres on the sleeves (to avoid too long sleeves) and on the body. I used a skein less than called for if the Pickles Tweedy - quite convenient as I forgot to bring the last skein with me on Christmas holidays. Any good suggestions for a good hat pattern with a quite heavy yarn?
No modelled photos this time as you wouldn't be able to see the cardigan for my huge belly ;)

Den ser lækker og varm ud. Jeg har faktisk ogå selv slået op til en for et par dage siden, men dets tager nok et par dage, for pind 8 som jeg måtte op er ikke mine go-to pinde.
Wow - looks really lovely and the color is just wonderful!! Have no idea about yarn substitute
- hope you will find some!!
Thanks!/Tak! :)
@Lena: Jeg måtte også op på pind 7. Heldigvis skal der ikke så mange masker til i den størrelse :)
