Ancient Greek Tunic

Filed under: sewing — Kristin @ 6:29 pm

I made Butterick B4572 A for a Seven Deadly Sins themed costume party. I went as Bacchus for gluttony. Crepe-back satin and all notions are from JoAnn’s. I made it a little longer than called for and added a liner.

Baby Yoda Sweater

Filed under: knitting — Kristin @ 11:40 pm

I made the Baby Yoda Sweater [pdf] for a friend’s baby that will arrive in March. It was knit from Mission Falls 1824 Cotton 100% cotton in color #303 on US 6 needles. The size is 0-6 months. I changed the inside ties to crochet chains instead of i-cords since I thought the cords would be too bulky.

Ruby

Filed under: knitting — Kristin @ 4:56 pm

I made Ruby for Macy.   The yarn is Lion Brand Microspun 100% micro-fiber acrylic in Ebony (153) and Lily White (100), and Patons Brilliant 69% acrylic / 31% polyester in Radiant Red (4942).  They were knit on size US 3 and US 6 needles.  I made the 6-9 month size.  I didn’t like the ridge on the sole the 3-needle bind off left the first time I made these, so this time I just grafted the edges together instead.
