show me your romantic jacket

[kedutchgirl]

Hi everyone

I just bought the new copy of crochet magazine and just started the romantic jacket. I was wondering if anyone has one finished to show and give any advise to the pattern

 

thanks

I'm working on the last sleeve...so far so good

but I believe it's british terms pattern.

...but I believe it's british terms pattern.

 

I must disagree here. Since this is an American publication, any pattern in it would a use "American" terms, unless clearly stated otherwise. Nowhere in the pattern does it indicate that other than American terms are used. I have checked the guage, and it works out exactly. Another indication that the terms are not British: "...Ch 1,sc in each stitch across.." Chaining 1 would not bring the level high enough for a British sc( American dc)

I just started mine, so can't help you there, don't know when I'll get back to it. Can't wait to see all of them that are made. What color are you ladies doing yours in?

I've been eyeing it & Lady in red also. Are you all using suede yarn or something else.

I am using lion brand kool wool in eggplant. It seems to be working to the gauge so far. I have been looking for somthing to use this yarn for and this is the perfect sweater.

I'm Aussie so we as a rule, use the UK terms. Only prob is that I am more at home with the US terms! When I look at a pattern the easiest way for me to remember whos terminology it is, is that in UK terms there is no SC at all. So I glance over a pattern and if I see an sc I know it must be an American one. Hope that helps

I did the lady in red pattern. Its a very perty pattern but be warned there is no assembly graph for it and I (maybe it was just me i'm a little dee-dee-dee) had a bit of trouble working it all together.

Do you have a picture of the Lady in Red ; even if it is not finished.

What yarn did you use for it.

I just finished the back of the "Romantic Jacket". I had to 1) go up to a K hook to get gauge - the Lion Suede doesn't slide easily on the hook (kinda squeeky) and thus it makes me crochet really tightly 2) I added 6 rows between the lower back section and first armhole shaping row - otherwise the top of the pleat section would have been in the center of my back and I wanted it to hit at the waist. I'm figuring out the adjustment to the front now so it fits the changes I made to the back. Wish me luck on that!
