Mosaic jacket

I'm knitting the Rowan squares with an idea of making a simple patchwork jacket. One one hand I'm worried that it will be too busy with the 5 colours, on the other hand I want to include a red, or a tweed, just to keep the knitting more interesting.

I'm using child-size needles, which are easier to hold, and take up less space when knitting in cafes! Well, that's what it feels like.

What a lovely little public library in Wanaka. To get to it you go over a little stream. It has been beautifully landscaped. I found a sunny sheltered spot to sit and knit, amongst the falling autum leaves and filled with the sound of the water.
