The pattern actually came from Stoller's Stitch and *** Crochet: The Happy Hooker. I decided to try my hand at a sweater, considering that I usually stick to projects that give me near-instant gratification, like amigurumi and handbags.



Enjoy! :D

mad for crochet!

Wow! Beautiful jacket. I had to look closely and make sure it wasn't an amigurumi you wearing it! Just teasing. You've got some skills!!!

Your jacket is gorgeous. Well done. Although the title says Ocean Avenue Jacket, I have the book and it is listed as Prepster Preppy Spring Jacket, although the collar, lapel and button placement is different on yours. And suits you. I wish I had your figure. The jacket in the book has a little ease, yours has none, by the looks of it and it looks fabulous on you. You do have excellent skills! I wish I could do and wear it. Beautiful!

To SarahCrit: Thanks! And if I was posting another amigurumi, you'd know it. ;p


To IngridSera: Thanks! :D


To mmf: I checked it out from the local library but I would definitely buy it if I had the money right now, and I would definitely recommend that others do.


To Shazzade: Yes, I changed the title. I typically name my crochet project postings after songs. It's just a quirk I have. Besides, after my experiences in junior and senior high school, the word "preppie" brings up all sorts of unpleasant connotations.

That looks so good

and it's clever, re-naming the projects after songs

I once borrowed a pattern book from the library where all the projects were named after movies the author liked
