Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:38:28 +0000 http://blog.lionbrand.com/?p=991#comment-6425 This was my first time crocheting a garment..my A D D kicked in when I had to reverse the instructions to crochet the right front. Not sure what you all did, but I had several false starts on the right front until I discovered, DUH, that AFTER crocheting my foundation chain, all I had to do then ... was exchange RS for WS and vice versa in the instructions and not reverse every line which was impossible for me...and voila, I had the 2nd side without any more problems. Hope this helps someone else.... This was my first time crocheting a garment..my A D D kicked in when I had to reverse the instructions to crochet the right front.

It's ok, but I am not "thrilled" with it. I didn't like the sleeves, way too short. somehow the measurements takes them only to my elbows! So after I had sewn the darn thing all together, I added some length to the sleeves and made them a "true" 3/4. I will post some photos on ravelry. also I don't like the home made buttons, so I think I will just go and buy some and sew them on. Hopefully then I will be satisfied with it..lol. all I can tell you is that the sleeves were a heck of a lot easier to make than the fronts. And of course picky as I am, I couldn't just two lefts. The bottoms had to match :) well, i am done the jacket. It’s ok, but I am not “thrilled” with it. I didn’t like the sleeves, way too short. somehow the measurements takes them only to my elbows!

My back is just slightly small (size is medium), trying as hard as I could to keep it sized right, but to no avail. And with larger hook, it is too big and I don't want to redo it again. My question: can I make the front panels in a size large, hoping to gain just that little extra room? I noticed that the sleeves are the same for both sizes. Hope to hear from you soon since I want to get started on the front panels. <em>Heather says: "Hi, Dorothy - You can add a couple of stitches on to each side and then you can just slip st a couple more stitches at the beginning of the neckline. This part of the fronts serves as the button band, so that would probably be the best place to increase. Hope this helps you get the size you would like!"</em> I am behind because I was out of town for a week.

I love the lines and that it is suited to any size. I am a small but think it would make a nice jacket for even an x-large.
