Mary and her Tomten Jacket
Mary is happy…happy! It was a happy evening recently at knitting workshop…she completed the knitting journey of the Tomten Jacket, a Elizabeth Zimmerman design.
She knit this garter-stitch design in Brown Sheep Lambspride Superwash. She began this sweater for her granddaughter…..time slipped away…and now her neighbors have been gifted with this lovely sweater for their newly adopted child. As you can see Mary was overjoyed to complete this project….she stuck with it and you can see the results.
The Tomten Jacket
The detailing that makes this Tomten unique is that Mary rolled the edging back and tacked it all around. She also created an I-cord loop for the toggle button.
Yeah Mary!

Yeah! I never even heard of this design by EZ! Very cool – and I hope the neighbors like it.
We’re the neighbors, and we absolutely love it! And Aviva will wear it in good health, and great fashion! Thank you, Mary Z!
Mary will be thrilled that you have commented on this post. I will see her shortly…and she will be beaming. Congratulations to you all!
