Here's the beginnings of a new tomten. The yarn is a little scratchy but once it's knit up it feels good.

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

Hi Amy, it's great to see you working on a new Tomten! Who is it for? What yarn are you using? I can't wait to see more.
Thanks Brian. I'm using Debbie Bliss Donegal Aran Tweed. It's not as bulky as I thought it would be so I have already dropped a needle size. I cast on 144 stitches so it should be easy enough to scale up the pattern with that number. And I plan on adding additional ridges to the body.
Oh! It's for my husband!
Love the yarn! Lucky husband!
