Fun Times...

Quebec City, overlooking Levis and Ile D'Orleans over the St. Lawrence

Despite his innate cuteness, see how gross and greasy Scottie's hair is? That's cuz it's a zillion degrees. Mine, thank goodness for all concerned, was covered by that mini hat that did nothing to protect me from the sun so, for the next week, I had blisters all over my nose. Don't ask how - I was covered in so much sunscreen and stood in the shade at every opp.

BTW, I made that cowl top out of rayon jersey fabric that was $3.50 a yard. Whole thing cost, like, 5 bucks and I've worn it a bunch of times. I tried to do a full bust adjustment on it (there's an empire seam you can't see) - talk about overkill! I added 3 inches but it put the seam at my navel! :-) Nonetheless, due to the busy-ness of the pattern, it can't easily be seen, it so all is well. I have made it twice - very easy, very good pattern - and will do a sweater version with the 3/4 sleeve for fall. Totally recommend it.

PS: I realize that the fabric is on the cusp of hideous. But I was experimenting and the colour-scheme really does work fabulously.
