Project specs:
Pattern: The Tree Jacket from zephyrstyle.com
Size: S
Yarn: Merino Classic from Junghans
Color: 216713 gray
Washing instructions: machine wash cold (30°C)
Needle Size: 5 mm addi circs
Amount of yarn: 600g (just a little strand left)
Yarn called for: no
Mods: More decreases for the sleeves (decreased 10 extra stitches at the underarm - one stitch at each side every other row), collar in garter stitch instead of lace pattern. Made the collar shorter (about 5"), too. Oh, and I changed the lace pattern as well - my lace panels are done using YO, ssk, k2tog, YO.
What I like about it: Feels very soft, good fit.
What I don't like: If I knew that I would end up with too many sleeve stitches in the first place, I would have skipped those increases at the yoke. Other knitters seem to have similar problems with the sleeves.
Right now I am working on my Rebecca Sweater from Rebecca Update #1 using Savanna. I did a little bit of Christmas knitting - hats for my grandparents. Gloves (yawn!) for my brother are still to come.
Have a nice weekend!

It looks great, you have done a great job! I like the color, and the pattern also.
I love it - this is one of my favorite FOs of this pattern! I just finished mine tonight and I washed and blocked it now- should be dry tomorrow for pictures.
Nice job! I love the mods you made, especially the sleeves. Mine are way baggy. Great color, too.
I love this!!! Love your mods!
Your sweater looks fabulous! I agree it's one of my favorite FOs of this pattern.
Looks great. I really like how yours turned out.
Gosh! I can't believe what a lot of totally awesome knits you're doing, and so fast! This is another stunningly beautiful project - I really love the pattern as well as the fact that you didn't make baggy sleeves - I actually think that baggy sleeves wouldn't fit to the style and shaping of the jacket as perfectly as your tighter sleeves do - so this was a fantastic modification as I see it! And it fits like a dream - congratulations!!!
