A couple of “nearly’s”

Nearly done that is.

A couple of Mama Updates

An Arabella Top and bloomers…Top needs trim on the straps, I cord ties and embellishing.

I took a break from working on the top and started the bloomers.  I’m about 2 inches from the gusset.  The plan is to have them done by Wednesday…..that’s the plan anyway.

Another custom  nearly done….Dakine longies modified into convertible longies. This pair is waiting for a trip to the store for buttons (tomorrow)…and the ends to be woven in.

Again the plan is to have them ready Wednesday mailing.

There have been many many e mails back and forth with plans for other customs that should be finalized in the next day or 2.  When I know every thing is set I’ll update the customs list in the order those garments were finalized. 

The Katidids Etsy shop is getting pretty sparse but I do have a few items waiting to be listed.  The next sunny day will be one for photos.

Until then, I’ll be knitting!

Custom Arabella

I’m still working on the Arabella.  I know I’m going to love it when it’s done.  Right now?  Not so much.  Started out with just under 150 stitches cast on. Now that I’m on the ruffle we’re talking over 500 stitches in one row. 

ONE ROW.

Today Isaiah passed 1st grade on the “A” Honor roll….He may be passing 2nd Grade before I’m done with the next row.

I liked this before I started. I just wish I hadn’t done a stitch count.

No more whining

Off to knit
