Knitting, Sewing & Dyeing

I finally finished the Sycamore Vest,

(designed by Hannah Fettig)

about three weeks ago.

By finished, I mean that I took photographs of it

and put them on my Ravelry page.

(I had already woven in all of the pesky ends,

blocked it, AND even worn it!)

Here are a few more pictures of it.

It was a fun knit,

and I learned a lot!

I've also completed sewing a lovely little dress

for our granddaughter Maggie.

It's called the Ice Cream Dress

and the pattern is from Oliver & S.

The link will take you to 

Fiddlehead Artisan Supply,

where I also purchased the adorable fabric.

I hadn't sewn a garment in quite some time,

and I was a bit hesitant,

but I'm thrilled with my results!

The pattern was very well written,

and the sewing provided some wonderful diversion for me.

I love the cute little neckline

and how the pockets mimic it

…..and here's the back:

The button is one of the many MOPs 

sent from Jeannie.

Thank you, Jeannie!

I can't wait to see Maggie in this dress!

I also finished these two mismatched socks

well, I still have to do the

afterthought heels,

but that won't take any time!

I'm almost finished with this adorable 

baby sweater:

more pics when it is completed

(I'm on the second sleeve now!)

And lastly,

I actually made it out to the dye studio

yesterday afternoon for a bit of

DYEING….

whoever would have thunk it!

Here's one of the pieces:

Any thoughts on what I should do with this?

It's cotton.

I love it….but it hasn't spoken to me yet.

Thanks for popping by.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Peace to you and yours!
