They say you learn from your mistakes. Well after picking out the stitches on the binding for my jacket, I learned my lesson. Slow down and take your time with projects. Speed will only make things look messy and have you break two needles.
Ok. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. I will go back to hand stitching my binding from now on.
Look at my cute little gifts for my niece! I can't wait to send these on their way. I followed Posy by Tikki Knits for the pink sweater and pattern by Oge Knitwear Designs for the jumper/romper. It worked out well that the jumper is a little bit larger, so she can wear the it a little bit longer then the sweater. Very excited to see how they look on her :)
Jean jacket update.
I would say this is 1/3 to 1/2 way to being complete.
This thing is such an interesting struggle. I had it sitting around with the characters half finished most of last month. I just picked it up because I didn’t really have a knitting project to work on. Then I spent the better part of last week completely enthralled in doing the stitching across the shoulders. I have some direction for the end result of this jacket, although I don’t think its going to mesh as well as I had thought.
But it sure will be loud, garish, and totally unique.
Take that all you trendsetters with your iron on patches! This jacket actually contains sweat, blood, and tears.
(jk,jk, custom jackets with patches and pins are still pretty awesome)
