Here is the start of my Sleeveless Jacket by Bergere de France. This is the Left Front, which I have completed.
This is what it will look like when it's done.


And here is the 100% wool yarn I'm using from Scotland, online ordering available. Shop 

There will be further posts on this subject, and hopefully it won't take too long, because this first piece knitted up in no time.

    Thanks for popping in too, Laura. The jacket grows VERY quickly, plus there's no sleeves! Bonus.

  7. Actually, it's not, so far! It's just got that one fat cable down each front, and it's really quick. I'm enjoying it lots.

  9. PDA is Pathological Demand Avoidance Syndrome, a little-known autism-related condition. Since Sarah was 18 months old, we have had problems with her refusing to do things...typical terrible twos? No, not normal for a child to scream for 3 hours solid because she doesn't want to put her pants on! But of course it's a matter of convincing the authorities, which is what we're going through now.
