Swagger

This one is only funny because of the name, I think.

The "Ladies' Swagger Coat". 

Can't you just see it in the model's pose that she knew the name of this pattern when she modeled it?

I actually kind of like the coat.  It seems very comfortable and just the sort of thing that you could wear anywhere and do anything in.  No wonder she's swaggering, with a coat like that!

(Still. . . )
Yarn Yuck Rule #27:
Some of us can't help but be swayed by the names (rather arbitrarily) given to objects, colors (of paint and cosmetics, for instance), and books, but do try not to take the pattern name too seriously or literally.

It Needs Something. . .

You know those times when you're dressing for a special event?  And you stand in front of the mirror, plucking a molecule of fluff off your gorgeous handmade sweater (you know, the one with the elegant, classic lines), twitching your lacy black skirt into the perfect position. . . ?

. . .And you think to yourself, "It just needs something. . . some little thing to make it perfect. . ."?

Well, that missing "something" is most definitely not a big honkin' satiny bow. 

(Just sayin'. . .)

Yarn Yuck Rule #182:
Don't overpower your beautiful knitted or crocheted art-to-wear with loud accessories.
