But mostly today, I have two sweaters to finish. The purple sweater is almost complete. I just have 3 rows of knitting on the inside trim piece that will cover all the ends and the zipper edge, and finishing to do. Then I would really like to finish up her other little sweater as well, the one I thought would be purple, but turned out to be more blue. It too, just needs the zipper put in and then ends woven in before being ready. I think. It has been a while.
These two finishing tasks are going to take up the most of my day.
Then there is a dolly skirt. The dolly skirt is a circle of fabric with a satin waistband, with a layer of blue organza over the white satin. Everything is finished but for the hems. I am not sure why, but my sewing machine really isn't liking either of these fabrics. It tries to eat them down to the feed dog. Rather than damaging them, I am going to tuck on a little rolled hems by hand. Diana Prince now has a blouse, a pair of pants, one sweater, a ball gown and will shortly have a fabulous, over the top skirt. If I get time, I will knit another little vest too, though I can do that later. She will not go forth naked from this house.
And that blue yarn I dyed?
Seriously fine.
Ready to cake and knit. Grandma had a good day.
