Pilot House in Red

For once I have finished a project at the right time of the year!  
Winter has not really made it's presence felt but come 1 June, I am under no illusions that it will. 

I had come to the conclusion after completing my owls jersey, which incidentally I haven't worn yet, that shaped jerseys are the most flattering shape on me.  I also came to the conclusion after my Owls jersey and Miette cardigan that I don't like knitting in the round on circular needles.  The Pilot House Jersey by Amy Herzog proved to be the perfect solution and best of all, I could use her custom fit software to get the perfect fit for both my wool/tension and size.

To trial the pattern I used an op shop find,  the perfect amount of wool still wrapped in it's paper covers.  It is Patons Caressa which according to Ravelry is discontinued.  I knitted it on 4mm needles and the composition of the wool is 45% wool, 45% acrylic and 10% mohair so it should be nice and warm.  

I love the fit of this jersey but I think the neckline as shown is perhaps too low.  For this reason I chose to raise it but I feel it is now possibly too high.  Never mind, I can soon remedy this for my second version which incidently I have already begun!
