My Fashionable Life

you are so awesome and so vogue! This will definately be one of my fall knits, thanks!

You are so sweet to share the pattern! Looks like you spent tons of time writing it...great job. Will you submit it to a mag??

I also think it's nice of you to share the pattern--I don't know if I'll make it, but I love it! You did a great job. Didn't know you were such a trend-setter, did you??

thank you for sharing the pattern. it's going on my fall to-do list too. can i say again that you did a marvelous fantabulous job with it? you did a marvelous fantabulous job with sgt. pepper.

just found your blog and think your work is perfectly exquisite. sgt pepper is so sweet and whimsical!

Thank you! Your design is stunning, and although it may be a crazy dream, I hope to cast on this Fall.

Awesome job, Anna. Perhaps Sgt. Pepper is both no.s 1 and 9 (statement coat)?

thanks for sharing anna. don't know if i'll get around to making it or wearing it, but am pleased as punch to have it as an option!! it turned out so well.

Don't even get me started on the fashion industry's deterioration of acceptable plurals!

And I think you're very cool to be so ahead of things!

You are incredible. I absolutely love this thing and your creativity just astounds me. Brings tears to my eyes, truly. Thanks so much, Anna!

I'm afraid you're seeing the decline in ability to use collectives correctly. After reading this post, I polled some folks I know (mostly college-student age, so 18-22), and every one of them thought "pant" was the proper term for one pair, whereas "pants" meant more than one.

Confusion resulted from trying to explain that one owns "a pair of pants" or "boots" (unless you've lost one). I give up.

I'm impressed by Sergeant Pepper. One day you are stumped by the maths and the next the pattern is written out in five sizes. What software did you get?

Also, just thinking that for the seaming-impaired the body could be knit in one piece, minus seam allowances. Or do the seams add visual interest? (Hard to tell in black.)

One more thought: I love the clean, uncluttered look of your site. Where are you going to put the link when you start charging for the pattern? Could you add it to the photo montage?

Sgt. Pepper is stunning, Anna!

Whew! I'm sure that was a good exercise in pattern-writing!

Surely a "boot" and a "pant" are only of use to individuals who have had the misfortune to lose a leg. And even then a "pant" would probably leave them somewhat exposed.

Weird.

hi anna, how generous of you to offer this pattern. i'm definitely going to add this one to my list. thank you so much!

How lucky we all are that you're sharing the pattern for you lovely Sgt. Pepper! Thank you!!!

I always knew you were meant for Vogue, you stylish thing you.

Yay! Your pattern is great. Thank you so much. My husband thinks that I should make it in Turquoise...I'm a little scared.

thanks so much! it's wonderful!

Thank you for sharing what I'm sure will be a very popular pattern...you are amazing! I just love the jacket. Take care.

Anna, this is such a cool pattern! I want to have a quick chat with you about your designs, but I've tried emailing you, but it bounces back - could you email me? Thanks!

Your jacket is simply superb! A real work of art!

You're site is very inspiring.

Thank you.

anna, what is the gauge for sgt. pepper? i'd like to explore my yarn (and stash) options before i make the plunge!

I bought the pattern the other day and just got the Cathay for it. I am so looking forward to knitting it and wish somebody else had finished one and shown me pics so I could trust myself to be able to cope! ;)
