First Project of 2010




I found a very cute book in the library called "Baby Gifts" by Ethel Brennan. I tried one of the ideas in the book- a cashmere sweater.... Now don't worry, the pink sweater was found at my Salvation Army for $5.00. Anyway, I cut up the sweater and made a practice run. Not too bad. I think the arms are too long, yet followed the pattern. I have to buy some pink ribbon to finish the front edges. Talked to my GF and I am going to x the next one by 1.25, thus I will have a lovely sweater for my grand child to be...Love the idea of cashmere so decandant for so little price...This year is the year of me taking chances and doing art outside of my comfort zone. Boy it's fun! I am also working on felted blocks, cut from shrunken sweaters.Off to the cutting matt..lookout women running with rotary scissors!!!!
