*I modified EZ's classic into an adult version for myself. Most severe modification happened to sleeve caps, neck opening and hood.

it is great. there is something monkish about the hood. in the best of ways. and the wool and the colours are surely beautiful. and the knitting looks so lovely and defined.

Wonderful Job. I am working on a child tomten jacket. I would like to make the slender woman's version. Trying to get the gauge right. Thanks for sharing an inspiration to me
