My Inner Critic: Me: My Inner Critic: | "Ripping out?! WTH, Gwen? Didn't you specifically tell some knitting friends that you never ever rip? And over such gorgeous fabrics." "Well, yes and yes I did. But you know what? These fabrics are too good to keep in the form of clothing that doesn't suit. I wore them, enjoyed them. The fabric is still good. So Pbbbt! I'm making them into something new." "Whatever. You'll probably never finish. I hope it's at least something usable and functional. And remember to never say never. Sheesh!" |
As you can probably tell, I'm clearing and cleaning my stash as well as my closet. I made 2 of the 3 pieces you see below.
- The cardigan is a Marcy Tilton pattern, V8559 made of orange stretch boiled wool that is only a few mm thick.
- The cowl/scarf is a piece I designed & made after buying the lovely purple stretch wool from Josephine's Dry Goods, which sadly, closed in September 2013.
The cowl never was finished. I couldn't bring myself to sew up the ends. I don't know why either. Just never felt right.
