Great jacket. Thank you for the pocket tips and for a good review. Enjoy the jacket. I love your idea for a future jacket.

Wow. I totally love this jacket! The colors go together nicely. I am new at putting colors together so it was helpful to see this color combination. And the great pic out in the snow gives us the full effect! Thanks for sharing. :-)

This is a great looking jacket (in Wimbledon colors). Love the pocket and the edging; it really makes the jacket.

GOOD JOB!! I am sure you need a warm jacket in some parts of New York; some are just as cold as we are up IN THE NORTH!!

Thanks for this review -- I love your jacket! I'll have to try out this pattern. I also must have a go at some sweater-knit. That jacket looks so comfy cozy!

I have this pattern marinating in my stash, and your fabulous review has inspired me to dredge it out, dust it off, & sew it up. Love your jacket, the colors, and creative edging-- really enjoyed your blog site too! Thanks for the review.

This is such a great jacket! Thanks for sharing the prettiest cold weather jacket I have ever seen. ( love the color choices and the buttons) The wool jersey one will be really gorgeous.

I love your jacket!! The colors are beautiful and I like this much better with the added buttons. Great job on the pockets-your coat looks *so* much better than the pattern cover (or model garment for that matter!!) Thanks for the inspiration ( I love the stuff on your site-how do you find time to breathe with all those hobbies?! LOL amazing!!)

Hilary -- I simply have very low housework standards! Thanks for all of the nice comments. I think purple and green are my favorite colors to combine.

Great jacket. Love the colors. I just bought this pattern. I have some double faced wool doublknit that I plan on using. I may steal your pocket idea.

Great jacket and fabric choice! I have this pattern but haven't made it up yet. You've inspired me to move it to the top of my project list - thanks for a great review!

It's not my pocket idea, I think it was Rennie who did it first. But, steal away. . .

Great jacket! I like the color combo you used and great thinking with those zippered pockets.

Very nice jacket! This in a windblock fleece would be great in most any weather.

Great jacket, curlypurl. You made many improvements to the basic pattern that turned this into a very interesting and attractive garment. I love the idea of dark green and purple together too.
