Whew! My life went all wonky summer of 2008, and it's taken me a long time to get back to this. Not much cooking lately. I recently completed a cardigan in yellow cotton, where I DEFINITELY did not have enough yarn to complete the project, and the yarn manufacturer had gone out of business.
SIGH.
But not to worry, I made pretty good substitute buying a corn-based yarn and mixing with in Egyptian cotton in two slightly different shades of yellow. The effect was quite wonderful, if I MUST say so. Pics will be forth-coming on another occasion. I sew, also, and have been experimenting with tailoring to fit the BODY, for those of us who wear a size larger than size 12 American. I am no longer worshipping at the pre-printed pattern altar. I have gotten acceptable results (not great YET, but they will be!).
I'll get my form designed, and y'all can weigh in. I'll tell you what we're up to in another post.
TTFN.
