Given my slow progress on USMP, I'm full of admiration for others who've completed rather complex projects of late, as you may have noticed. In line with that, check out meemster''s version of Teva Durham's Tartan Jacket, for which the pattern ran in the classic Fall '04 Interweave Knits.
This project always struck me as super-hard, and the kind that might only look good on Ms. Interweave, whoever that model is. But meemster proves that, with a few mods, it's lovely in person and, with a little perseverence, can be done!
