blackberry from knitty

[laceybatey]

I know this is a last year's pattern (fall '05), but I didn't start knitting until March, so I am just now making this!  I had read on Craftster somewhere and other places online that some knitters weren't happy with their results.  I am really happy with it -- I am hoping to replace some lighter coats with it.  I used the recommended Rowan Chunky Print in Temper.  The only modification was that I added about an inch of ribbing for more collar options (rolled over or standing up).  I could have made the smaller size, but I'm happy with this, considering that I will wear it as a jacket replacement!

Oh, and forgive that listless expression -- I had NO idea my tired face would be in that photo!
