For those playing along at home

I just placed a rather large knit picks order to make the swing coat out of.

First, my colors. It's a bit hard to see, though I think the pic is pretty close. My color A is Merino Style in Dusk, B is Eggplant and C is Storm. I ordered a single ball of the other blue in the Merino Style to see if I like that one better but it looked more turquoise on the web site.

The color choices were a bit limited if I didn't want to spend a fortune. Knit Picks doesn't have a lot of choices in DK weight.

first two miters

I ended up having to go up a needle size after making my gauge miter, so these were done on eights.
