Blue/navy/black boucle kid mohair. Not the least bit itchy. About 6 feet wide at the top and about 4 feet long from top to point. Knit in Maine!!! while I was teaching there. I loved the yarn but have nothing blue in my wardrobe. $60 plus postage.

And then there is this purple beauty, with lots of merino and hand dyed yarns, and a few fluffy ones too. Quite large at 8 feet at the top and about 4.5 from top to bottom. $65 plus postage. I accept Paypal. I know they both wrap around the waist.

They're attached!

I used the beginning and ending threads of the blue ring and pulled them through theedge of the yellow ring and knotted them, which is covered by the rolling action of the ring. The yellow is DK and the blue is fingering or sock weight.
I think worsted weight and bigger needles would make a bigger ring and a bigger impact. What do you think? Or does it lose something by not being chained? With this method, rings are knit separately and can be arranged and attached later. Mega amounts could be done and then they could also be linked with a smaller ring . Endless possibilities. I must also try the crochet version.

While cooking, make sure to wear appropriate undergarments.

I could never work in this studio

So here's the dress I saw that got me started thinking about sewing. That and having lots of yardage which I know will never get made into a bed quilt, and is too fuffy to be fused and used in an artquilt. So what? I should use Kaffe fabric for backs? NO. Unless it happens to be my back.

I couldn't tell if this dress had a collar and then the website http://www.echodesign.com/

showed it did. Blah. I don't want that collar. Or that icky color. Blah again.

The pockets don't show here, but I MUST HAVE POCKETS.

The red circles are from the website. Their site is just awful and none of these dresses was easy to find. $68 for the one above, and this one, being a tunic is $58. Ha! How about less than $15 homemade?
