Magazine Issue 17 by Noro

I purchased this magazine purely for the jacket pattern on the front cover. The magazine arrived quickly and was protected by a cardboard backing which ensured that it was in pristine condition on arrival. I couldn’t wait to make this item but didn’t use the yarn suggested as it required four 200g balls at £35 per ball. I searched for substitution yarns and found a very close match which I was pleased with. I found the pattern easy to follow after watching demonstrations of making mitred shapes and using Attached I cords which I had never done before. I’m almost finished. I absolutely love this pattern and have already sent for more yarn to make another.

Interesting reading. I'll make something from it later I have a stash, which has older yarns, so the comparison chart is very useful
