Random Musings

This dress from Anthropolgie makes me want to run out and buy striped jersey TODAY to make Vogue 8904, the Tilton shingle dress

I tried to like my plantain tee and wore it yesterday to work with my crochet scarf. Nope. It'll be an "at home" tee

(scarf Ravelry notes here)

I think these pants are crazy awesome and amazing but my friend says all she sees are curtains



My public library is crazy awesome and has all the books


although there's nothing in the Shape Shape 2 book that I want to make

My sweater is coming right along, the back is done. I hope to finish the front by the weekend and move on to the sleeves.

I have some holes. Booo! My next sweater will be perfectly awesome!!!!
 
 I finally (FINALLY!) cut McCall's 5523. I love the ruffled back! It went together super fast and I am in the process of drafting a lining for it and hope to finish it up by tomorrow. It's ever slightly too big through the hip (but perfect at the waist) -but- that's before the lining. We will see if the side seams need to be pulled in a little. I want to make the pleated version too!

As usual, the pattern photo leaves much to be desired. Just Google this pattern. So many amazing versions out there!



Until next time!!
