Today is the first day of the Outfit Along (squee) a challenge that I'm going to be a part of over the month of June. This is a two part challenge in which I have to make a cardigan and then a dress. I should be able to manage this even though I have lots of other projects on the go.
Now, one thing has changed since last week, I have made an adjustment to the yarn; I was originally going to use Cascade 220 but decided to opt for Cascade 220 Superwash. Why? There isn't any difference in the texture of the two yarns, just, the colour choices appeared a better match for the material of my dress. I only sat in front of two different computer monitors for half and hour ummming! And ahhing! over what colour of green I should choose and then when push came to shove I hit another button colour instead and bought Candy Pink. It doesn't go with the big star flowers in the design, but it does match the little flowers perfectly. I don't know if you can see the other feature in the pattern, yes, it's my favourite insect of all time, a ladybird.
Also in my previous post, I mentioned that this material was destined for another dress pattern, which I think is now lost in the wreck of a room where I do my crafting. If I remember correctly the pattern was a halter neck dress, to be honest, I'm not really a fan of them (I have wide shoulders and biggish boobs, feels like I have a ready made table in front of me) so I don't know why I bought it. The new pattern, well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it suits my body image, it should look good once I have lost a few pounds and stopped eating Jelly Tots (this weeks craving, lol) been dreaming about them all week and yesterday I decided to succumb and bought a bag, well a biggish bag.....ooppp's.
Anyway enjoy the rest of your day peeps, I'm going back to potter in the garden, then I'll maybe watch some catch-up T.V. and do more rows of my cardigan.
Bye for now
