I've been a bad, bad girl

Dressmaker formYep, I caught this puppy on sale on Joanns.com. I paid $120, which is about $100 cheaper than buying one at Hancock's. I've been wanting one lately because I have this design idea for a sweater but I'm modifying the width of the saddle shoulder straps and I'm having trouble visualizing how this is all going to meet at the neck. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. (grin) It's also been motivation to restart the diet and exercise program, as I had to do a lot of fiddling with the dials to, er, conform to my measurements.



John Anderson's Kilt HoseHave made great progress on the John Anderson's Kilt Hose, calf shaping is coming along nicely. This is a really nice pattern so far. The foot looks absolutely huge, but I tried it on and, embarassingly enough, it fits. My husband's foot is the same size as mine (can't believe I admitted that), so all is well. This has been a great portable project for taking to the rink during my boy's hockey practice.

I love that you mentioned that you take your knitting along with you! My husband is so sweet, but I think sometimes he thinks I'm a little nuts for taking it with me. I'm a work in the car type of person....even when we're just driving across town.

Your dress for is very cool! I can't wait to see what you make using it :)
