Almost there
I’ve been working on the Coraline and my own self imposed deadline was today but some things got in the way and it’s not quite done. I could have made my deadline, but there doesn’t seem any point in only having to work to your own deadlines if you can’t bend them a little so that the end result is as good as possible and not rushed at all. So new deadline - Monday! And until then the pattern pages are up on Ravlery and my store so you can start queuing and planning yarns. One of the reasons that this has taken so long is that I’m doing 3 versions of the pattern, each of which will contain 6 sizes so there will be a total of 18 sizes covering bust sizes from 28″ - 62″. I hope that’s appreciated and makes everyone happy! The only thing that I wish I was able to do is to show the sample in more than one size, I do realise that I’m pretty petite and that it can be hard to visualise how a design will look on a different shape or larger size. That’s the beauty of Ravelry though so I’m really looking forward to seeing Coraline on you.

It looks great!
Just out of curiosity, how are you envisioning the fit? I’m guessing you’re going for positive ease, but any specifics would be awesome. :)

Hi it looks lovely and I can’t wait to knit one. I am really grateful that you have taken the time to do so many sizes, whislt not overweight I am 6ft tall with big b**bs and so sizing can be an issue - thanks so much - I can’t wait.

Wow! So pretty! When you get a store on Ravelry, are you still going to have some free patterns?

Oooh, I’ve been waiting for Coraline for ages! I love the smocking detail. It’s been my goal to be comfortable being slightly more girly this year (I’ve always been a huge tomboy, and dress like it!) and I would love to make this sweater. I love the sleeves and the open front.
P.S.-Your dress is gorgeous!!

What a great design! A baby’s matinee jacket for a woman. Very feminine and will no doubt suit many body types. I’ll be giving this a whirl….angora maybe?

It looks beautiful. I can’t wait for the pattern.
Thanks for making such a wide range of sizes. I tend not to have issues with the tops I wear or make, but I feel the frustration when dealing with the bottom half of my imperfect (in the media’s eyes), human body.
