I copied then dress already, but now I need a knee length brown cardi to wear with it. However, knitting this would take a couple of years and I can't wait that long! I'm thinking I could get the same effect with a drapy woven wool or maybe a wool jersey or something? I'm not horribly experienced with knits, but I would try it for this. I've looked through the big 4, but I'm not sure which one might work. Buttermilk, maccalls, and vogue are all on sale this weekend at Joann, so those would be preferable. Haha, buttermilk! iPad autocorrect fail! ------ Melanie

mastdenman   Intermediate CA USA Member since 1/12/04 Posts: 5854	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 10/13/12 2:44 PM I have a piece of wool poly fleece. Butterick 5828 or McCalls 6445 both look like they might work for a light jacket. The first one might work for a stable knit type fabric. ------ Marilyn January 2009 to January 2010 81 yards out and 71yards in January 2010 to the present 106.7 yards out and 146.5 yards in.

I have a few suggestions...some would need tweaking but easily doable...B5528, M6247, M6656, M5932. If you haven't worked with knits much you might want to stick with fabric that has a little more structure rather than a jersey-weight.
