What thickness wool is it Mirjam? I know you said it is multicoloured so
will be very pretty. Is there a predominant colour, or is it a true
rainbow yarn?

That sounds absolutely gorgeous Mirjam - very delicate colours.

I fetched some sky blue yarn out of my stash and have started to crochet a
lacy summer jacket. I only have very thick winter cardigans so am
looking forward to finishing this.

Bernadeette what an excellent idea , i find that in summer i now
always need some jacket with me the difference between the HEAT and
the A/C busses trains houses is BAD for my shoulders and back ,,
better carry some jacklet with you and the knitted /crocheted ones are
best because you can push them into your bag when not needed ,,,, have
you thought about a Shrug +front Lapels ???

Like you I find that I need something lightweight for the summer as it
can get a bit chilly when travelling and there are always draughts. My
winter ones are just too heavy.

I do like those shrugs but they don't like me Mirjam. As I've grown older
I have become distinctly "pear shaped" (wider around my bottom half than
around my top) and they seem to accentuate it. I prefer something that
will hide the view from the back so usually go for a longer line in
jackets.

Not just Middle Eastern ladies Mirjam, it seems to be a female thing I'm
afraid as my mother was the same shape and it seems to afflict most ladies
over the age of 40.

My father always referred to it as "the Grecian bend" though where he got
that information from I have no idea. He always maintained that he was a
mine of useless information. He was also great fun.

Ahh, but not all women are pear-shaped either. Some are round, or
apple-shaped (as was my Mom and my oldest sister... I'm more oblong-shaped,
the weight is evenly distributed on top and bottom and not necessarily in a
good way), some are inverted pears (heavier on top than on the bottom) as is
a friend of mine who is heavy all over but moreso on top... then there are
very thin people who can eat anything and everything and never gain an
ounce. NOT FAIR, PEOPLE!!!! I *think* about food and gain 5 lbs. Oh
well... it's life! ;o)

LOL Gem, those are some wonderful descriptions and very true!

I was one of the lucky ones who remained slim (apart from the pear
shape) until I was actually in my late fifties. My husband is very polite
and now refers to me as "well upholstered" - either he is being polite or
has decided not to live THAT dangerously ;-)
