used a yarn I bought at Trash-to-Treasure night at my local quilt guild (many of us do other crafts along with quilting). The pattern was a dream to make up. I wear this jacket a lot and get a lot of compliments on it. Top down pattern.

I entered this at my local fair July 2009 and won a 1st place ribbon.

At some point, I may go back and frog the band and collar and use a smaller hook around the collar portion or do more decreases to get the collar to fit better, but all in all, I love this jacket!
