The bridesmaid dress is approximately 80% finished. All to be done is attaching the skirt lining and hemming both dress and lining. This picture was taken before I put in the side zipper (yes, I sewed my first-ever side zipper!) and before I made a few minor fitting alterations to the bodice. More pictures to come after the dress is completed.
I've been knitting a bit lately although I really do feel like sewing. Before Christmas, my husband commented that he needed a hat that covered his ears when he takes walks in the cold. So shortly before Christmas I knit him a hat with ear flaps. I think he likes it! :-)
I've also been knitting wrist-warmers...a quick, last minute gift for Jessica (can't find the pictures I took of them), and now I've started a pair for myself. These last few days have been lazy days for me...just sitting around knitting, reading, and listening to my iPod. Lazy days, but so relaxing.

What an awesome hat!!! I want one. He looks like he likes it a lot. The dress is looking great, what a pretty color. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteFab hat!
ReplyDeleteI like the hat you knit for your husband. I would like to learn to knit.
ReplyDeleteWe are having lazy days too. A lazy as one can be with my kids around me. It's good to just 'be' for a bit.
I've suddenly become obsessed with earflap hats. Thing is, I want one with lots of colorwork, and just... don't want to do the colorwork. Perhaps I'll buy one.
ReplyDeleteRelaxing is good! What a nice looking hat for your hubby!
ReplyDeletelove your blog I just found it..
ReplyDeleteYa know..my elbow pits like kinda funny in that picture of me. I just thought I might point that out.
