Taught my last class of the school year this week - phew! So.many.owls! 😝 Now to prep for 4 sessions over 2 weeks this summer...
I have the best crochet students in all the land. (Even though my name is spelled Abbey... as in Westminster... or road... 😝)
I love it when Craftsy has a good clearance sale. If you think I went to far... Well... You are no friend of mine. #kiddingnotkidding 😝
Starting sweater #4 AND look what came in the mail today! Copies of my book published with Leisure Arts! I'm over the moon...
Here it is - sweater #3 on the girl. Love this pattern and the colors! I did a bit of adjusting again to male it fit and went rouge with the small stripes on the sleeve and bottom. I've been able to follow the small size instructions then stop increasing when it fits Iva. This one took longer because I actually did sleeves and made it tunic length. The only thing I don't like is that the mature of the stitch creates a seam on the back of the garment (see last photos). I don't like seams... Ever... At all... This is why I do most of my work in a spiral. The other version of this sweater in the book is open in the front.... I may like it better because there will be no seam. I am going to make it for myself with yarn I got at my LYS this weekend! I think I am going to work up 4 more sweaters... 1 for myself and 3 for Iva. Stay tuned....
Blocking sweater #3 Suuuuper grumpy about my mistake (see second photo - worked under both loops instead of just the back one). I am normally very free-spirited and don't mind mistakes (and always tell my crochet students not to care) but this one annoys me. Maybe its in a perfect place for a flower?? 😝
Last week: snowstorm. This week: sunshine. Playtime at the park for the kids. Crochet time for mommy. This is garment-school sweater #3 - it's taking a bit longer because I'm making it a dress for Iva. She had it in her head that this would be a princess dress with a full skirt. Sorry baby. 😂
Sweater numero dos - I'm so in love with everything about this one: the neckline, the lace stitch, the sleeves. Iva is unimpressed with the neutral color 😂 So sweater number 3 has LOTS of color. I think it's my favorite for her so far... I'm case you haven't seen my previous posts - I am putting myself through garment school by crocheting my way through Dora Ohrenstein's "Top Down Crochet Sweaters" and adjusting the patterns to fit my daughter. It goes so quick when you crochet for a little person! I'm on the 3rd and have 4 more to go! (I have my eye on one to make for myself... I'm headed to the yarn shop on Saturday...)
Homeschool. Sweater school.
