I started this when I'd only been spinning a few months and finally, it's done.
I wanted it to be my outer layer unless really pelting down, so it's closeknit in a 3-ply spun from predominantly Shetland, with Manx and Falkland also being major players, and possibly a bit of Black Welsh Mountain in there too.
It's long to keep my backside and chumps protected from the Cumbrian winds, two pockets both big enough for my hands, one shaped for my mobile phone, the other for a key and my penknife. The neck is a crossover with a long back, which can be raised to keep the wind off the back of my neck.
It's very generously sized to leave room for as many underlayers as I may need!
In today's cold strong winds, with spitty rain-cum-hail, I needed another double-knitting layer underneath, but that's fine.
I'm well impressed!
