seaming and weaving and weaving and seaming
A few nites ago, while awaiting the arrival of my rowanspun aran for the demi, I knew that as soon as it arrived, I would abandon my almost finished ribbon edged cardigan in favor of swatching and sleevemaking. This motivated me to plow through the seaming and the dreaded weaving in of ends. Ick. I'm particularly proud of my side seams-- this is only my second finished sweater ever, so I'm getting much better at the neat seaming thing. Sorry for the dark picture-- upstate NY doesn't have much sunlight.
I also got myself to JoAnn's while my special little girl was getting her second haircut at Petsmart. They have this special holiday package with cookie scented soap, an extra little holiday tag for their collar, nail polish (which we opted out of), and a bandana. Now normally, this costs an extra 15 dollars, but since they hadn't done one yet, and since Abby is so cute and agreeable, they spiffied her up for free. Her groomers took pictures of themselves with her, as a model of 'how-nice-your-dog-could-look-with-our-holiday-package' and put them up in the window. That's nice and all, but no one is going to be prettier than Abby.
Oh, and here's a picture of my *almost* done baby cardigan with the ribbon and buttons. I'm going to need a sewing tutorial from my friend Andra before I start on the ribbon. A sewer I am not.
