Here is a picture of my finished Phildar 1960s jacket, which is MUCH prettier in person. My husband, who is not a clotheshorse, but who is honest, said, "This is your best work so far!"
The Specs Yarn: Phildar Quietude, double-stranded Color: Black, very black Pattern: Phildar Veste Croisée 414-T4-124 Needles: US 10 Would I knit it again? You bettcha.
Here is the Melissa Leapman crocheted purse using Lana Gatto's Aton and a H crochet hook. The purse has a suede feel to it. It is pretty with the green handles.





That jacket is great!!!!
