The end of an era: watch it here.
I need more sunshine
Somewhat Cowl – Detail, originally uploaded by sewwrong.
Well, I tried to take some photos of my finished Somewhat Cowl. This was the only somewhat ok photo that I got out of about a dozen (then my battery died). If we didn’t have thunderstorms and big clouds rolling through all day, the lighting probably wouldn’t have been an issue. I guess I’ll have to try again tomorrow to get some better shots.
I got the yarn for my Pink-ina this week and started working on it last night. The lace is slow going, but it’s easy to memorize. The color, Cheeky, is absolutely a joy to work with and a nice change than having to stare at black all the time.
I’ll probably have a photo of the lace after the weekend is over. And hopefully, some final sweater photos of the Somewhat Cowl.
Plans for the Great Coat Sew-Along
I’m participating in the sew-along over at The Great Coat Sew-Along, and I’ve chosen to make view B from McCall’s 5525. I’m a little apprehensive since this is the first time I’ve ever tackled a project this complex, so it will be quite the experience! I figured this would be a great coat for fall, and with the 3/4 sleeves, it would look smashing with some elbow length leather gloves.The pattern calls for lightweight cotton and cotton blends, even raincoat material, but I guess that I’d be able to use some wool gabaridne since it’s supposed to be a lightweight coat.
Any input about the fabric would be great, whether or not to go with something else. Ideally I’d like to make it in wool or something of the same variety.
Somewhat Cowl, Somewhat Done
The end is in sight with this woolly black monster! Due to some extensive car trips (about 20 hours total), I’ve finally made some headway and am now onto the cowl, which has about two more inches to go. And it’s just as well, since the weather is getting warmer and a cashmere/wool blend sweater covering one’s lap is not an ideal situation. It fits so nicely though! This might just be the first knitted sweater that I’ve made that will be acceptable for work wear. It better be, that’s why I’m kntting it in black!
Up next on the knitting agenda: Orangina in pink, or as I like to call it, “Pink-ina.” The yarn should be arriving tomorrow from Hampton Knitting Yarns, so more pictures to follow.
Got My Diploma!
Just received this beauty today in the mail:
(I blocked out my name for obvious reasons. It’s really printed on there, I swear!)
It’s been a long four years, but hey, it’s all over!
