Sew Dance

So I finished the bodice of the duster and tried it on. It was way too big and also the weave was too tight. I will have to go up a hook size or two for better drape In the meantime it looks like this... So onto my cross stitch. Remember the last time I picked up "Best Friend"? I got quite a lot farther. So page one done, I went to a WIP I had put down because I had to frog. Ended up frogging most of what I had done today (4 rows) and did manage to redo and complete more before taking this photo. But the frog has come to visit this week. I wonder if it's mad that I got rid of the fly that got into my apartment. Took a few cool pictures of the sunset Tuesday night. Also some of Clyde, here's my favorite. And I picked up more stash. I saw these on the specials page of abcstitch... The ornaments I had thought were cute a while ago. The last one "Russian Hunting" was an impulse buy, mainly because it was so discounted an...

So I have another page finish. Page 6 of the Arab Tent, but it was already halfway done. I probably stopped there because I was tired of all the dark colors. Which is why I won't be going onto the next page just yet. Made a baby blanket a friend commissioned. And decided to try again for the Special Day Cardigan from Annie's catalog again. Still don't know how to get 13 sc to be 4" using a G but the height and back width seem to be coming out to the other measurements listed for the pattern. I also went a little crazy at Mary Maxim's. First they had a BOGO on downloadable patterns. Then I got good news which coincided with their 25% off afghan sale so I didn't feel guilty about spending... The book contains the pattern for a kit that I'm not keen on the color combos and the jewelry was just because it was on clearance. Can you tell I have an afghan obsession?
