And my fave element of the purple suit I made last year (which I wear regularly - and which I still love) is the Versace lining that was gifted to me by Mardel. I freakin' love that crazy lining.<br /><br />Thanks so much for recommending the KAL and for your kind words. Seriously, I've invested so many hours on it. I just hope that people find a use for it now and in the future. It's my way of saying thank you for all of the tutorials that have helped me over the years.

Had said that I love, love, love the idea of that gorgeously sunny silk charmeuse (Silk. Charmeuse. MMMMmmm) lining to your from-the-outside-fairly-sober navy wool crepe jacket. I have a little Mackage leather jacket from quite a few years ago -- has a bubble-gum pink lining that makes me smile every time I wear it. <br />btw, I didn't choose to do your sock-in-a-week but I've been following the posts -- what a great job you're doing, so clear. I've recommended you to a reader who wants to finally knit a pair of socks. . . . materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-55009488580469046952013-12-31T07:50:53.235-05:002013-12-31T07:50:53.235-05:00in my opinion, a good lining can make or break a p...in my opinion, a good lining can make or break a project, so no judgement here! i think those colors will look amazing together. a bright jacket lining always makes me smile, perhaps more so than a beautiful shell! hope the blazer project goes well, i think it will look great on you!lisa g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891757600316953288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-70189441042318686052013-12-30T21:18:22.393-05:002013-12-30T21:18:22.393-05:00That yellows is awesome.
