So I’m really trying to keep on top of the box of socks situbar, because I’m worried that I’m just not going to get made the twelve I promised myself I’d make. I’ve just been so… oh dear, I find it very tiresome when people whine about how busy they’ve been lately, but well, I have! during the last month Cassie announced her engagement to her one-term boyf Daniel, and then fulfilled my dream ever since basically the day I gave birth to her by asking me to make her wedding dress. I’m so very thrilled for this! Of course the whole family is over the moon and excited for another family wedding so soon! Our days are becoming very very full. And this will be my second wedding dress within a year!
I’ve even got started on the dress already… Cassie and I went shopping together at Fabulous Fabrics for a pattern and fabric, and bought a gorgeous pile of laces and the most beautiful heavy silk taffeta. I’m so excited to cut into it! And this is muslin number one. It’s ok, however the fit is not quite right and there will definitely be a second before cutting into the precious taffeta.
Vogue 8470…
Aaaad anyway, just quickly getting back to just about the biggest anticlimax possible, my new pair of socks. Pretty, huh? I bought the ball of yarn in Japan. Of course. Everything in Japan is cool.
This is Opal yarn, colour KFS 128 “Ice cream”. I absolutely love the soft pretty pinks and the frozen iceberg blues, however there was a short section in there of a sort of dirty white, with purple and green splotches; which I did not like. So I removed these parts of the yarn while knitting, and I think the colour way is just so much the better for it.
The box of socks is looking pretty stuffed but mahty fahn all the same!
