The Queen’s Jacket featuring Celeste Yarn

Having been given a new yarn product by my beloved mentor, Gail, I started out on this new adventure of figuring out how to use a very finicky product.

Gail handed me a new yarn product called Celeste that is made by S. Charles Collezione and Tahki Stacy Charles. It is a tubular knit product that looks cool and drapes in a really neat way. However, its tubular construction makes it challenging to work with, as it runs on its cut edges.

After many hours of trial and error (much more error than anything else) I finally found a nice and clean way to finish it. With that milestone behind me, I moved on to design a jacket with it.

The jacket looks great and a special thanks to Colleen for photographing it, Amber for modeling for the photos, Meghan for getting it online and letting me bounce ideas off of her for what seemed like forever and to Gail for giving me the yarn to work with.

The pattern can be found on ravelry here.
