    About

    This started as a jacket for me until my lovely daughter saw it and is in Retail and said it was so cool that she wanted one! So guess who has it now?? One similar on the Goop website was listed for $495! Probably knitted in some rare Alpaca wool rather than Chino super soft Acrylic for 20€ bought in Spain as there are very few proper 'wool' shops here. A final tip - I also altered is the collar. At 150 mm overall length it was just too long and looked wrong. It also said to increase every other stitch in the last row and that looked wrong. I took it back to 100 mm without the increments and it looks far better and laid flat much better.
