Annette1 said... Absolutely THE COOLEST shirt I've seen in a LONG time. What a HUGE amount of planning and execution you went to. It's almost too nice to wear -- ha! ALMOST. :o) Great review! 6/11/08 9:55 PM

EveS said... Oh, Karen. I don't recall channelling you but that's ok. I JUST finished a comparatively mundane version of this pattern...inspired by your earliest editions. I'm so glad I finished my shirt BEFORE I saw this amazing new version, as I might not have been quite as pleased with my results. ;) lol. Anyhoo, fabulous menswear and review. Thank you for the inspiration!!! I couldn't agree more w/ your review. 6/12/08 1:55 AM
