Here are some more information for Kimono Wool:
A pea coat is an excellent coat to have for the winter. Once considered to only be worn by sailors in the navy, designers have now updated the coat to look much better. Now, you'll find a number of different colors used besides the traditional navy color that many of the coats come in. You'll see that designers are making much brighter colors such as yellow or red pea coats. These coats stand out when worn in the winter and will definitely catch the eye.
Also, new updates include different buttons on the coat. Instead of buttons, some designers will use toggles. Others will use large shinier buttons that really stand out. Finally, another difference is in the sleeves. Some will make additional accessories on the sleeve while others will make coats with larger kimono sleeves. All of these have made the pea coat much more modern and a great winter coat to wear.
One thing to consider when purchasing your coat is the type of material that you want to have. Most pea coats come in wool or a sort of wool blend. For extra warmth, make sure that the coat is 100% wool and is not a blend of wool and cotton. The cotton, while lighter to wear, is not as warm. Another option is to buy it in cashmere. Cashmere is the ultimate luxury material and it will feel extra warm will also being lighter than the wool coat.
Also, it will not be prickly against your outer skin and other people will like the feel of the coat. Both materials can look very luxurious though so do not worry if you cannot afford the cashmere pea coat. Now, manufacturers are making wool in much more comfortable fabrics so the wool pea coat will still be very useful.
The final thing that is great about having a coat like this is how stylish it looks. It is not extra long and will not cover your entire body, but instead will allow you to show off the great winter pants that you are wearing. Also, it looks very clean when you put it on so even though there is bulk, it will not look bulky on the person. Men tend to look especially good in their coats although women look great in the pea coat as well. If you are thinking about a winter coat to buy, consider buying this excellent coat to add to your wardrobe.

Picking the Perfect Monogrammed Bathrobe
What Do You Want Your Bathrobe to Do?
Choosing a bathrobe would seem to be a simple thing, wouldn't it? But once you get to the store and take a look at what's being offered, you begin to think about how you want a bathrobe to feel, look, and how much care it would take. Picking out a bathrobe that fits your needs isn't really so simple!
The first thing to consider, of course, is comfort and the material a robe is made of will be a big part of that. Do you just want something to put on after you get out of the tub or shower or do you want something to lounge in? Do you tend to chill often or do you enjoy cooler temperatures?
So Many Choices!
Terry cloth has always been a popular choice for a robe. It's absorbent, soft and natural. So if you like stepping out of the shower and donning a warm robe before you completely dry off, terry cloth is a good choice for you. It's also washable, durable and travels well, taking up less space than some bathrobes.
Waffle bathrobes are often used in spas because they're economical, comfortable and durable. The textured waffle fabric, called so because of raised diamond or square shapes, is attractive and soft, make of either cotton or a blend of cotton and polyester. Waffle robes are lightweight and great for wearing around the house before you get dressed in the morning.
Velour, a warm blend of cotton and polyester, is often chosen by those who like the look and sensuous feel of velvet. These bathrobes are great for lounging, very attractive and probably a good choice if you want something to keep you warm on a cold night.
Another cozy robe, chenille, is thick pile yarn that insulates superbly, made from either cotton, silk, rayon or wool. They are not absorbent so you won't want one for the bath or shower. A chenille robe is more for comfort than utility.
Microfiber bathrobes are lightweight, travel well and are water resistant. Purely for comfort and warmth, microfiber robes are becoming increasingly popular. You can crush them in a suitcase for days and they'll shake out looking like new!
Style Your Robe
Now to pick a style. A kimono type bathrobe is great for cool weather with its low neck and loose sleeves but if you have a temperature sensitive neck you'll want a high collar. Many robes are zippered with mandarin collars to keep the neck warm. These are great lounging robes. The most popular collar is the shawl type, a traditional style whose collar can be turned up for warmth. A hooded bathrobe is great for the bathroom and some even come with removable hoods.
Bathrobes also come in three basic lengths from mini to floor length. The medium length is good for the tub and shower, the mini is great for after-pool use while the floor length bathrobe is perfect for lounging or keeping warm around the house, especially in the winter.

Crochet pattern is giving me a problem. Can someone help?
I am stuck on this pattern. The instructions aren't clear to me. It is as follows.(I am a left handed crocheter also)
Shape neck-next row(wrong side)
Ch 3, skip first sc, working in front loops only, dc2tog, dc in each sc across; turn.(42 sts)
Ok, the part that I'm stuck on is the dc2tog. The way the pattern reads to execute this stitch is as follows:
dc2tog=[yo and draw up a lp in next st, yo and draw through 2 lps]twice, yo and draw through all 3 lps on hook.
Am I doing all this in one loop? I can't seem to get 3 loops at the end. I am reading this as a decrease. Is this correct?
