You will notice that the picked up borders are wavy, that is because I haven't blocked it yet. I am not very good at picking up stitches and I think I've gone a bit overboard doing so:) However I love the effect and I'm contemplating making one with a ruffly border next. I want to do shades or fire, reds oranges and golds.
Not sure if I'll dye yarn before hand or paint the finished garment. Watch this space.I have been dyeing some glittery mohair to make a fire shawl. Can you tell that the gloves had a hole in them?

Love the jacket - the colours are very cheerful!
I have the same problem with picking up stitches - either too many or too few.
Lovely jacket! My recent picking up stitches escapade suggested picking up 3 for every 4 rows and that seemd to work well.
