You took on a fairly complicated pattern and completed it ... good for you!

It's a very nicely designed jacket, can anyone edit the post to say what pattern it is?

But over all on this area i get a little frustrated as no one comes on board to answer questions.

e.g. what pattern did you use.
And some weeks ago i ask the editors to consider putting older models in the magazine but no one answered this either so i tried in gatherings but no response either.

I love all the models in Threads but occasionaly a over 40s lady would be nice. So we know that we too can look nice in the suggested patterns and fabric Posted: 4:11 pm on February 5th
