@Fabienne Pottier I would NOT recommend doing it for the first time with colorwork or anything involving more than a single skein per sleeve. Even with just the two skeins, you have to stop periodically and untangle the yarns.

@Anne Bertinuson yep. I have red stitch markers for each repeat. Otherwise it's too easy to get off. For the body, I used green markers to mark the side seams. Stitch markers are your friends! Kind of like lifelines and lace!

Nice!

@Zanete Hussain thank you! It has been so much fun to make!

@Cher Daun me too! I feel like if they had stopped trying to stock everything in the world and stuck to Fabric & Crafts, they would have done better. I was working at a Cloth World in Tennessee when JoAnne's bought that chain and we were horrified at all of the junk we had to make room for. The craft stuff was fine, but the home decor and all of the seasonal stuff that gets marked down when it doesn't sell? It just annoyed our customers and made more work for us. I'll have to make time to go check out the few yarn stores. I may also look on Etsy (checking return policies of course).

@Nadja Rothbarth exactly! I checked Hobby Lobby and they had next to nothing. A decent selection of fabric, but almost nothing in buttons.

I plan on getting the blazer pattern. It is so sharp looking!
