The good thing is, being stuck inside gives me plenty of opportunity to finish up some projects. Like the tunic, which is almost done ...
And this new pattern I picked up this week. Sooner or later summer will arrive and I really would like some new summer tops. This is New Look 6515, almost exactly like a top I saw in the Anthropologie catalog, and I'm making the sleeveless version...
And the short-sleeved sweater...I knit a little every night and it's almost done. I'm debating about the neckline, since I found another Jenny Adorno pattern (Tempting II) with one that is slightly different...
So after my daily painting is done in the kitchen, this is what I will be happily working on...cozy by the woodstove, watching the snowflakes, and (still) dreaming of spring.
Deb, this will be a really cute top. I love the fabric. I am going to make a couple of long summer dresses. I just have to get over to Joann's. I love to sew, but haven't done much this past couple of years. Have fun, Hugs
ReplyDeleteWe are not having a warm spring...it seems to be different every day.
I have just caught up with your posts. There was a lovely receipe, an excellent recommendation (those girls are doing a wonderful job) Some thrifted gems and needlework, ~ what more could a girl want ~ thank you! By the way, are you saying that you can 'jump' from one knitting pattern to another in mid-project? I am impressed!

I love all your projects!! I wish I could sew but other than basic things I've never been very good at it. Your sewing spot looks very neat and organized!
ReplyDeleteThe hyacinth on the table looks lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a cozy, crafting kind of day! :o) (I love all your pictures by the way -- it's really fun to come to your blog!)
ReplyDeleteI have the same pattern and love it. Now...if I could only get to it. It seems like I take on an extra 5 projects every week.
ReplyDeleteHow did the sweater turn out finally? I have one and I am stuck until I can get back to my knitting class and they can tell me what to do next...
