yesterday i decided to make a twirly summer skirt, and since then i've been deliberating between these two fabrics: amy butler's seagreen coriander and denyse schmidt's flea market fancy. i just ordered both of them. next week will be a sewing week!
the garter stitch bolero has been frogged and reknit several times in the past few evenings-- picking up stitches on this one has been a bear. at the moment the front and back are stitched together, one arm is fully knit, and i'm knitting the garter stitch border around the bottom, neck, and front edges. the second arm is picked-up and knit halfway down, but i'm waiting to see how much yardage the border uses. i love the full sleeves in the pattern, but i may need to make them three-quarter length: the yarn comes from a sweater that my mom no longer wanted, so there's a limited amount of yarn...

Where are the stitches to be picked up? Would a provisional cast on solve anything?
Just got Simply in Season. I'm so excited!!!
For some reason I can't leave a comment on your new post. Hmmm...
Really enjoying watching the bolero process.
Wondering how the Contemp Art book is. NuttnHubby and I are artists and always looking for new good books :-)
Chickens eat moles?!?!? They're in the 5-yr plan (chickens, not moles).
