A fun and fast knit. I can’t wait to hear if it fits or not as it looks a tad small to me.

The little bit of sewing I did on the sundress gave me the sewing bug again. The next sewing project is a car organizer that attaches to the back of your car seat. It is for Michael. Can you guess his favorite football team? Did I make that too easy to guess?

It’s been cut out a good long time and he keeps asking about it, so I guess it’s time to start sewing it.

I  didn’t make it to the gussets of the socks so they don’t look much different. We’ll try for that goal again this week. I did make another sock yarn square though.

I now have eight of them done so I still have a long way to go. I should probably start blocking them as I make them so I don’t have to do them all at once.

No major goals for me this week except for finishing up the car organizer so that I can start a pair of pajama pants I want to make myself.

Happy Wednesday!

I am really pleased with how this yarn came out.

As usual, I have no plans for it. A scarf would be nice because it’s so soft.

I started The Two Summer Sundress for Alexis. The pattern suggests making the next size up but when I had Amanda measure Alexis’s chest I decided to make the size that was closest to her measurements. Now that the bodice is done, I think I should have followed the directions and went one size up. It looks really small. Ah well. I’m not too worried about it though because eventually Addison will grow into it and it was pretty easy to make. I plan on getting this sewn and in the mail this week.

The plain vanilla  socks have grown a little bit. I’d like to get to the gussets this week. That should be doable if I am not glued to my wheel like I have been. We shall see…
