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.

Got a late start in life knitting and crocheting. I started crocheting because everyone else was knitting and I like to be different. My starting point was with the prayer shawl ministry at church. I got lots of practice and got better each shawl I made. Then I started seeing cool knit items and finally broke down and taught myself how to knit as well. I got a great book Fearless Knitting to teach me and started with LOTS of dish cloths. I'm getting better at both knitting and crocheting all the time and hope that will be borne out with these blog entries.
