Long and Lean Jacket
This is a knit project I started a couple years ago … before I really knew how to knit. I frogged (unraveled) the whole project this year and started over, and am so glad I did. I have been wearing this jacket non-stop as the weather has finally gotten warm enough to do so. It’s a very basic construction, but looks and wears so nicely.

The colors are self striping, which makes for an added bonus. This took me about two months to make and I would certainly do it again.
The yarn is Homespun and the needle size is 10, 9 1/2 for the neck and sleeve ends. The pattern is from Lion Brand.
