Dusting off the Sewing Machine

It has been far too long since my last sewing project.  I revved up the Bernina to help a friend make some curtains and thought, oh yeah, I love sewing!  I whipped up this dress AND lined it in no time flat. sewing.jpg

It always blows my mind how much faster sewing is than knitting!

Donovan's Sweater

Remember the story of the yarn ball that got away in Ohio? It turned out I really needed that yarn. When I got home, I was working on the sweater I have been making for my friend Jenny's baby, and I came up one sleeve short. Ahh! And only 4 days before the shower. Anna was all out, so I ordered online, and it arrived in the mail Friday afternoon. Abe delivered it to me at Knitwit, and I went to work. jenny.jpg

Saturday morning I put the finishing touches on - just in time! The pattern is from Greetings from Knit Cafe - it was super fun to knit.
