finished objects

alright!! the baby jacket is done. here it is all sewn up with no buttons or decorations:


and here it is fully decorated:


this is the pattern (in pink) that its supposed to be:


i went with cream (in merino bambino) because i started before we knew the gender of the baby, but now we know its a girl, called Lola, and her mum is not averse to a bit of pink herself, so i decided to stay traditional. the next thing for Lola is a matching set of pants, but i saw some fantastic red and red-striped bambino in craplight this morning and i think a matinee jacket if i ever get the recipe will look good in that.

i didnt think a baby jacket would be such hard work! too many small pieces, too much sewing up, but worth it :)

also finished today is my chapter for the book im co-editting (its all in that folder):


now i just need to write the conclusion and format everyone else's chapters. no problems.

also yesterday i became a proper fully fledged member of the gym ive been going to and i am annoyed that i didnt get time to go there today, which is a frightening thing for me to have just said. i apologise.

have a good weekend, esp to all those fibre whores in The Can, cant tell you how much i miss you guys
