OK, yarn is here, knitted my gauge swatch (2 of them, actually. eventually they will be pockets or pocket linings, depending on which way i do them) and i've cast on for the Tomten itself!
i am using peaches and creme double worsted, in black, at 3.5 stitches to the inch on #10 Denise interchangable needles. So far i really like the yarn! i am a bit nervous, as one often reads that cotton sweaters are too heavy, but one sees them in stores and in catalogs, etc. one way to find out....though it may be a very labor-intensive way to find out ;)
photos soon

This blog will be a place for us to share advice, successes and frogging nightmares as we work on our Tomten Jackets.
Jared Flood's Adult Tomten
Jared Flood very kindly allowed me to borrow a photo of his Adult Tomten for inspiration purposes here. I chose this one as it gives the best view of the shoulder-which is the part of the pattern I am most heavily debating changing. Check out his blog more more pictures of his completed Tomten
