I got this pattern from Son of Stitch 'n Bitch - making it for my new hubby.
It is a cross between a smokers jacket, a cardigan and tweed.
Finding the yarn has proven to be a challenge so far, I'm hoping a local store will have it - otherwise I will have to rely (once again) on the wonderful Internet and have it shipped in.
I think he'll look great in it!

OK well looking around, this yarn will run me about $15/skein...ouch! I need about 14 skein's..that's about $210 JUST FOR THE YARN...I did however find a website that sells it at about $9.80/skein...so that's a bit less of a heart attack! (and free shipping over $75) ... http://www.yarncountry.com/It is a cross between a smokers jacket, a cardigan and tweed.

Saving the pennies and budgeting it into my fun money so I can get started on this lovely HUGE project!

There are others who have knit this one up, with other yarn ideas that may not be as expensive as the Rowan it calls for.
