I’m gently working away on another image and trying to get other drawing-business stuff done. When a couple of things are ready (don’t have a date yet) to go up in the shop, I will span style=”font-weight: bold;”definitely/span let you know!br /br /Anyway, I just got back from a nice long weekend with family and friends in the Bay Area. Oh, it was good to hang out with the girls, including a sweet 8 month old bouncy baby and a precocious two year old. (Almost a big girl though – how does that happen span style=”font-style: italic;”so/span fast?)br /br /As you can see I finished a href=”http://thefabledneedle.blogspot.com/2008/08/hot-soup-in-summer-cozy-projects.html”my sweater/a. Can I span style=”font-style: italic;”just/span tell you how much I love it? I wore it all weekend. It’s totally that kind of sweater: wear it with everything, every day. I seriously need to make more in different colors. Maybe a red one with a little collar and buttons that go all the way down the front.br /br /I didn’t use any of the vintage buttons I was deciding one. (I know, scandalous.) I just thought those big, self-shank buttons were too much for this delicate sweater. I found these mother of pearl ones in my stash which are perfect with the sea-blue color of the yarn.br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_M5dKBd5_Vfk/SLSP30Wa2II/AAAAAAAAAYQ/U51ck2C7zMw/s1600-h/round-yoke-sweater-done4.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_M5dKBd5_Vfk/SLSP30Wa2II/AAAAAAAAAYQ/U51ck2C7zMw/s400/round-yoke-sweater-done4.jpg” alt=”" id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238970455646984322″ border=”0″ //aYet span style=”font-style: italic;”another/span wonderful thing about this sweater is that you can wear it like I do in the top photo (open and casual) or you could belt it at the waist:br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M5dKBd5_Vfk/SLSQjlT67oI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QFprnZoC9bc/s1600-h/round-yoke-sweater-done.jpg”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M5dKBd5_Vfk/SLSQjlT67oI/AAAAAAAAAYY/QFprnZoC9bc/s400/round-yoke-sweater-done.jpg” alt=”" id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238971207524216450″ border=”0″ //aWouldn’t this be pretty with a woolen skirt and mary janes?
