This time I fall in love with a knit fabric coat from Burda 8/2012#106 (elegant version#105 looks also pretty cool; tech.drawing below). I knew I wouldn't use a nice bulky fabric as in the orginal because of two things: my borrowed machine would not manage and my crochet skills wouldn't be enough to finish the edges.

But these small obstacles didn't stop me making my own version. I used a dark brown wool, made no lining and decided to serge the edges.

It's less than a coat, it's more than a blazer. I like it a lot.
