I need sewing help! I keep making really cute stuff and then when I sew it up it looks like crepe. Or at least a lot of cute parts Frankensteined together!

I need a cool, possibly rainy day - so I can knit the last 2 inches of my sweater! (And maybe get some writing done.)
It's so hot, everything feels kind of sticky. I can't hold my needles (let alone cotton yarn)!!

I made another one! (For my mum, for mother's day) Material is from curtains my cousin made for my last apartment, but were too short for the current place.

Nice, maygles. I know someone who'd love to have one of those, I'll suggest that book to her.

I can't seem to find a certain needle size, I KNOW I have them! Now I can't finish this friggin' cardigan, AAAAAHHHH.

I went nuts with the sewing this weekend! Which is nice because I haven't had any time to craft like all week.

Reversible bag! Made with fabric and cotton webbing I got in a big yard sale bargain yesterday ($3 for a ton of fabric), and leftovers from a project I made for my sister.

Catnip schmousie for my cousin's kitty!

Awesome, everyone! maygles, those are the cutest fabrics ever.

And ZOMG I finished the best pullover I ever made! I'm going to wear the hell out of this.

Annnd here's the project page: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/VeganPhoenix/arleen

If it's sunny tomorrow, I'll take some proper pics of me wearing it! :D

maygles · **Posted:** Sun May 13, 2012 11:25 pm

That is gorgeous!! I love the buttons, too!

Thanks, maygles. I'm wearing it at work right now, and it's soooo comfy I never want to take it off. It also looks great with jeans.

Super happy. So glad I tried knitting top-down pullovers.

(ETA: Sorry about picture size - my good camera is back.)

Oh, and the shirt is pretty too ;-)

It looks like it fits perfectly! Well done! :D

No problem. Do it! The pattern is super easy, and the yarn (if you can get it, or something like it) feels sooooo nice.

Aaaah so awesome! :D

I finished my bandana scarf!

This is the first thing I've knitted in years, and the first thing more complicated than a straight scarf so I'm super excited!

Next up is this scarf for my mum for her birthday in a month, then a baby blanket for some friends (they're only like thirteen weeks pregnant so I've got some time).

maygles · **Posted:** Sun May 27, 2012 12:15 pm

That looks really great! I love the color too.

Brioche stitch cowl update! Started! Would post photo if I hadn't left my camera in NY, but it's this in similar colors (but different yellow because I couldn't find a bright enough vegan one).

Anyway, the fabric from brioche stitch is awesome and thick and bouncy but dang this stuff takes *for*ever to knit. I've been sitting here for four hours and I think I've knit like two inches (of 10).

maygles · **Posted:** Mon Jun 04, 2012 12:41 pm

I've been sewing a lot!

Colette's Violet (version 1)

Sewing machine cover (from One Yard Wonders)

Reversible project bag

Napkins for my sister!

A (kind of shitty but functional so who cares) door panel for my sis (you can see her kitty Queenie in the bottom left!):

Phoenix · **Posted:** Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:20 pm

Awesome, maygles! Love that collar. You're super talented. And you always have such great patterned fabrics!

I've been doing more Ph.D. procrastination knitting. Finished another short sleeved pullover (of which I still have to take pics), and now I'm knitting a yellow baby cardigan with blue borders and a dinosaur on the front. My friend's baby is going to be the best dressed baby around.

You guys, I have a question. I've been looking for something to transport my work-in-progress in. My intuition tells me that there must be such a thing as a 'knitting bag'. Something that is a bag-within-a-bag, that protects your needles from bending and your work in progress from getting nasty from the other contents in your bag. (Leaky pens, food.) I'm carrying around my crochet in a tote within my big bag at the moment and it's not satisfactory.

Suggestions? (I'd love something nice and vintage or Etsy made.)
