The weather feels between-seasons these days; it is quite
warm during daylight hours, but gets too chilly after the sun goes down to be
without some kind of cover-up.
And while I do not think of linen as especially suited to
Fall, this jacket was just the thing to throw over a skirt and blouse for an
evening out.
Yet another unfinished project I finally got around
to completing!
I wonder how many others I have laying around, or tucked
away so they don’t make me feel guilty . . .
Perhaps I should continue this trend, and look for another.
Or maybe I would rather sink my teeth into something completely new.
For the moment, I am going to postpone that decision, pull out my knitting needles, and make myself a cup of tea. The couch
and a snuggly Chihuahua
are calling . . .

ReplyDeleteI love your coat! I've been thinking about making myself something similar but I'm afraid it'll be a bit impractical in my climate. But yours is perfect! I love how much work and effort you put into each of your project, it's really impressive.
ReplyDeleteVery nice - I love the color. It's season-less. And the coat looks perfect for this year's bay area fall. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat does the lining look like?
What a great coat, amazing colour. And I love this cascading collar, beautiful!
