Going on holidays to the West of Ireland next week. Weather can be very changeable. This will keep me busy if it's raining. It's challenging, as there are no easy lines. You have to concentrate all the time. Sept 20: Finished. The search for buttons was exhaustive. I bought three sets of buttons! Not mad about these, but they seem to suit okay. A few mods.... * Made the neckline a little higher. * Made the sleeves narrower at the cuff, and six lines shorter. * Did the crochet border all around the front and neck. I'm a tiny bit disappointed that the waist is not better defined... should have gone down a needle size perhaps? It looks longer on the model than on me, so maybe I should have done a few extra rows at the beginning. Overall, it's a lovely jacket and I can't wait to start wearing it.
