More Gloves

Every once in awhile, I feel like branching out, and making something in a little different color combination than is my usual.



So, I do.

From Sweaters to Dresses!

A bit ago, Janelle at PontePretties let it be known that she was looking for testers of a new halter-top/dress pattern that she had created. The dress was adorable, and so I immediately offered to test the pattern for her.


I'm absolutely delighted with how it turned out.

So delighted that I thought I'd make another one:

So fun!

. . . and more sweaters

I completed two more sweaters. For this batch I decided not to do applique, and I think they worked out fine, though perhaps not as fun as the other ones I've made.  

 I think I'll try to get one more done while I still have the feel of these in my fingers, and then it's on to something else.
