SUPER BEARS! SUPER BOWL!

Gifted Item In Action or Say Cheese!

Remember that garter stitch kimono wrap sweater I made a while ago? Well, here's Baby D modeling it in a professional picture. It's awesome that her mom actually took her out in public wearing it AND chose it to be worn to a picture sitting. I'm stoked that it's getting used, it was worth every hour spent on all that garter stitch.

White Wedding

This past weekend put me in Chicago for a wedding. My last one ever, I swear!! I had to share this pic...

Branching Out

I finished the scarf for the exchange I joined. I used 2 skeins of Cascade Cloud 9, which is 50% Merino & 50% Angora. I purchased the yarn at my very local yarn store, Knitting & Stitching. A yarn store I can walk to...Yay!

Notice Sweet Georgia Brown modeling the scarf? Well, I've been wanting one of these adjustable dress forms for ages! One day I was complaining to my boss how I really wanted a serger but my apartment was too small to house any more crafting things and how I really wanted a dress form but I didn't want to pay retail for it. And she goes, Oh, I have one. You can have mine, I almost threw it out yesterday because my husband wants it out of the house. Needless to say, I was at her place bright and early the next morning to pick up Georgia. Projcet Runway...here I come! OK, maybe not, but I can dream!

I'm Still Here!

It's been a while, eh? Well, I'm still crafting. I started my scarf for the exchange that I joined and am over half way through it. I haven't been knitting that much though lately. I've been obsessed with finishing this dress.



It's McCall's #5137. I used some of the fabric that I got from Mood a while back. Yes, it's cotton and yes, it's cool outside, but darn it, I'm gonna wear it! I even made it twice cause the first time it was waaaay too big. The second time it was still too big on top and I had to take it up in the shoulders...I was determined to have a wearable garment after all was said and done. After I finished the first time, I read on patternreview.com that just about everyone made 2 sizes smaller than the measurements specified. So, if you're gonna make this dress, definitely go with a smaller size. I met friends for tea today and I got a couple compliments on it, so it's a go. Now, I can get back to knitting.
