what's going on
Tuesday, November 11, 2008So, I finished vest #2.
Plan on getting photos as soon as it warms up a bit. I foresee an unhappy model with temps in the 40's.
I started this skirt for myself. Call me crazy, but I would like to wear it on Thanksgiving day.
Brown tights. Brown boots.
Lunch with friends. And this for dinner.
Have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteOh, you are too quick! I cannot believe you've made three PT items, and my languishes on the needles as I find other "shiny objects." Love the idea of the skirt. I say "idea" because you wouldn't catch me dead in a knit skirt, but it's going to be oh-so-cute on you!

ReplyDeleteI've wanted to knit a skirt for some time but never saw one I really liked. This one is quite nice!
ReplyDeleteHow great. I have a feeling you will get it done in plenty of time. I'm frantically knitting up my first ever sweater to wear on Thanksgiving but not sure it will get done in time. I may need to pick a smaller project. Can't wait to see the skirt done.The color is fantastic.

I know you can do it and look really, really cute in it!! Yummy recipe - who cares that it's hot here, I want to make it!
ReplyDeleteLove the color you've chosen for the skirt. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteWhen you said 'call me crazy', I thought you were referring to the temperature. Not for one second did I think you meant speed-wise. You'll have it done in no time! And it will look adorable!
ReplyDeleteyou'll be done before thanksgiving, i'm positive! knit on!
ReplyDeletelove the color of that vest.
Leslie, now you KNOW that you'll be done with that skirt lickety-split!!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks heavenly:) I love this time of the year...
Ooooh, the skirt will be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with your blog! I'm posting about your toast/toasty wristwarmers on Blissfully Domestic's Creative Bliss channel on Nov. 14 @ 11:00 if that's ok with you! :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I do like that skirt. Of course you can do it, just don't do anything else from now until D-day. Clean houses and fresh laundry are so over-rated.
ReplyDeleteI love squash soups. They always are wonderfully filling (though I always feel like mine come out a little bland, so I'm still working on a good balance).
ReplyDeleteThe vest looks great! You get so much done. I can't imagine how you do it all!
That is a great vest! I can't wait to see you modeling that pretty skirt!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the vest will be enough to induce a smile from your model. Pretty does that, don't cha know.
ReplyDeleteYou will, indeed, be rockin' that skirt by the holiday.
What a cute skirt! I can't wait to see when it is finished!
