The Noro Love affair continues

I have finished the gorgeous Noro Jacket that I knit for my mom's birthday.  I think it is the most beautiful piece I have ever knit, and this is not a testament to my skill as a knitter, but the pattern and the  Noro color ways.  It was a compulsive knit, I kept finding myself knitting one more row just to see how the colors flowed.  And they did flow off the needles.  The short row shaping of the fronts and the sleeves is wonderfully clever and gives the jacket a great fit.  I love that the fronts are slightly longer than the back, from the back it looks like a nipped in Bolero, but there is great coverage in the front.  I cannot say enough about my first adventure with Noro yarns.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
