Well, I guess I too need to get into this! I love this pattern and Donna a wonderful job. I am going to go thru my stash and see what I have. If not, a trip tomorrow morning is in store LOL yea!!

I found that the error for not having the right stitch count begins on row 6. You have to do ch 5 v stitch in the beginnig v stitch on row 6 and a v stitch in tch space +dc in 3rd tch at the end. I hope this helps someone. I completely missed that and by the time I got to row 11, it didn't work out right.

Absolutely beautiful, and you made it so fast. Maybe I don't need to wait till i finish my other project to start mine. I live in Ohio so I'm going to have to go with the sleeves so I'm sure it will take me much longer to finish. Good work. Careful where you wear it though. Everyone will be asking for one ;-)

[darski]

Donna, you did a great job and I love the colour.

[StitchLuva]

great job, donna. i was not sure about this one but after seeing how nice yours came out and how quickly you finished i am definitely going to jump in on this one. i think this is a great christmas gift. with or without the sleeves.

[GarnetMoon]

Ohhhh heck yah! Much like everyone else here with a gazillion items in progress... I too shall add this in! COUNT ME IN!

 

I will most likely be doing mine in BLACK. :o)

[daisycrochet]

I love that pattern. It's definately going to go to my "to make" file, lol. Very pretty.

[funkyreporter]

OOOOH, I wanna make that!!! What the heck, if I can have 12 WIPs then I can have 13 WIPs... it's been a loooooonnnnggggg time since I've actually finished anything. Oh, well.

 

I'll be yarn shopping later this week! ya-hoo!

[JesseCat]

Me too, looks like a fun sweater....I need to make a visit to JoAnn's tomorrow and hope they have Simply Soft....I want to have a brown cardi as I have some skirts to match or purple will be ok with brown too..... I wonder if someone can write up all the corrections on one thread....Maybe Caron will do that for us....

[Bianka Kukan]

Well I just got finished with the body part..but it's 4 am...so maybe I should go to bed and start fresh in the morning (or afternoon :-P).

[gingerchai]

ooh, i love that sweater, i shouldn't even be thinking about starting another project these days, but its soooo tempting.

[daisycrochet]

I'm going to go for it and CAL with you all for this jacket. I have spruce colored yarn that I had just begun another shrug with but I'm willing to pull out what little is started to start this jacket, lol. I wonder what it will look like on me? And if it will fit right, lol.

[Karen C.]

Does anyone know where I can find 7/8" carbone rings? I've seen every size but that! If you'd like to send me a couple of them that would be great, too Will refund cost of item and postage. Please pm if you know a source and/or willing to send.

I was looking for those for a previous project and never could find them so I just made my own button with the yarn...

[Karen C.]

Donnalynn,

 

How did you make the buttons? I might go find some that are already made.

[donnalynn2]

Donnalynn,

I just did CH 2, 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook, join. CH 1, 2 sc around, join. CH 1, sc in first 2 sc's, sc dec, repeat around. Repeat last round, weave through stitches and pull tight. Easy peasie button!

What???? You guys are speed crocheters obviously...LOL.. I have to work everyday, so I know it will be atleast the weekend before I can finish.

[mardar]

Even though I have a ton of projects I'll join you all on this one. I think I'm going to make it in black, I already have the yarn.

[Stitchinpick]

Thanks Karen for the correction info. I have added it to my pattern.

[luv2stitch]

I love the way the jacket looks. It's great to know that it's a fast project. Thanks for posting the back view, it would be nice if all of the patterns in the magazines showed all sides of the garments. It leaves too much guess work for us.

[Karen C.]

Thanks Karen for the correction info. I have added it to my pattern.

You are welcome! The pattern is written correctly, but I was just pointing out that you have to pay attention to what's being asked of you because there's some variations on how to begin and end each row.

[craftybutterfly]

Ya'll, I've been crocheting for darn near 28 years, and this has to be one of the worst written patterns I've ever tried to follow. I am now frogging row 6 for the THIRD time. Caron could have done a much better job at this. Can you feel my frustration??? LOL

[Momcrochets]

It's cute. The "V" is a bit deep for me though. I love the sleeves. Unfortunately, with two sweaters going (okay, one is still waiting for yarn) I don't think I can join CAL right now. But I'll watch. Maybe I can figure out a way to shorten the V...my hamsterwheel is spinning now!! Definitely worth printing.

Did anyone else notice, this looks similar to one done in the last, or second last, Annies Attic catalogue (theirs was read)? Or is it just me.
