Finished Creation: Coffee Date Dress



I just finished sewing my first BurdaStyle pattern. I screwed up quite a bit, as I am still kind of teaching myself basics, but the print is so loud, you can hardly notice that the darts don't exactly match up, AND it looks really good belted. Hooray for me! I am going to make a wintery version soon in a heavier fabric, but lower neckline REOW.

Never Ending Project #1


Currently knitting a cardigan on size 2 needles since forever ago.Only just started left side. Things I have learned:

a. Aluminum needles suck balls for knitting with TINY thread. So many stitches sliding off!
b. Spending the scrill for good yarn: totally worth it.
c. I have not the patience for small gauge knitting. Seriously, this is taking way too long. I want to wear this mofo!

In other news: ant invasion in the kitchen ended in ant massacre.
Yessss.
