elizabeth_mnI'm really excited about the projects which have finally made it to the top of my to do list!
I cast on my Cherie Amour for the third time and now it's going quite well. I've got about 20 rows of the bottom lace section done. After knitting Kernel, this lace pattern is a breeze. I've pretty much memorized it by now. And I am totally converted to knitting from charts. I don't know what I was so afraid of before!
A couple new dresses are on the agenda. I got a few yards of brown, paisley-printed cotton in the bargain section a couple years ago and I am going to make a shirtdress out of it with a gored skirt. Maybe I will pipe the pockets to give it more of a cowgirl look.
I also have a lovely coordinating cotton print and solid which will become a dress; the solid as a bodice and the print as a skirt. I want to put a tiny pocket on the bodice in the print fabric, and use buttons covered in the print as well.
For both dresses, I'll use my basic shirtdress bodice and pair it with skirt patterns I already have.
I just need to wash some of the fabrics and then I can get sewing! Yay!
