Hey Y'all: I've been rather occupied with the first week of the year (my way of looking at early September). I've got lots to say but I need some time and space to put some ideas together. I do have some crafting on the agenda for this weekend:
- I just bought these jeans at Anthro (they are hella flattering) but I need to take 5 inches off the hem and narrow the flare by about 2 inches tapering to nothing below the knee. I mean, it isn't 1975. I've been looking for trouser jeans FOREVAH and I finally decided that, on sale, I'd take a bit of hit and do alterations that perfect the look I'm going for. Easier than starting from scratch.

I've been working the skinnies for so long and, while I still and always love them, I need to bring some variety to my looks. BTW, these fit snug through the knees. They are very high-waisted.
- I'm still working on this fucking sweater. I'm going to finish the second sleeve and pick up the cowl neck. Gotta say, I'm not a fan of Custom Fit (and not because the sweater isn't good). I'm not saying that it's bad but I do think it has limited application. More on that
if I ever when I finish this thing:

While I can see the gauge change at the mid torso (from
this near disaster), I think it looks pretty even, all things considered, and blocking should fix the remaining inconsistency.
- I'm going to make cropped hudson pants in my slate blue French terry. If I can swing it (and it's doubtful cuz I only have 2 yards of 60 wide fabric (plus some complementary scraps in navy from the Sunny top project), I will make one long pair and one cropped pair. Oooh, pretty fabric:
- Finally, there's the thing I've avoided for a month: cleaning up the gardens. But oy, the work. And it's raining and cold right now (sob). So unless the weather clears tomorrow, I may not be able to take on this task. Makes rain seem useful.
What are you up to this weekend?
