Citron

I am very excited to be finishing a few projects! It is nice to feel a sense of accomplishment, but I think even more exciting to anticipate beginning new projects!

Just finished:  Citron - pattern by Hillary Callis Smith.

Ashley was kind enough to use her photography skills to provide me with these flattering photos! The yarn used for this project was "Steele" by Creatively Dyed Yarns. Colorway: Vallejo.

I am thoughtfully considering the possible options of how to use this in the wardrobe. I haven't quite solved that dilemna. Any thoughts?

We also had fun last weekend with Ashley, David, Annette and Lee visiting. Here are the "babies" playing on Grandma's porch . . . They are dressed to cheer on the Gamecocks vs Vanderbilt later in the day.

I have several thoughts about a new project. I am looking forward to trying something by designer Jane Slicer-Smith. In Swing, Swagger, and Drape there are some challenging and lengthy projects. I am going to start with one that looks the least intimidating in size and required skills: Boxes Drape. (Check the link for great photographs of all the projects in the book!)  Now, I would prefer to wear this free-flowing and drapey, but as you can see from the photo, there are options for styling!




Will share photos of yarn (purchased at Stitches South) and cast on as soon as that is done . . . excitement, can't wait!
