Matinee Swing Jacket Reviewed by Debbie Snyder on 2009-09-02
I love this pattern! It was so easy to work up and looks great. Because I live in a foreign country I don't have access to Lion Brand Yarn, so I have to make a few adjustments. Since my yarn was a different weight, the sleeves and body of the jacket were a little short. I added a few extra rows and a decorative edge. I will definitely be making this pattern again.
