It’s January, and in Salt Lake City that means colder air trapped in the valleys by high pressure areas leaving us stewing in our own pollution juices, as it were.

Looking at it critically, I probably should have done just a bit of full bust alteration that Steph suggests. But since I definitely plan to make this dress again, I’ll play with it at that point. It’s super comfy and I’m going to wear the hell out of it! M
‘Dicey’ Socks
A while back I couldn’t help myself and ordered one of Cephalopod Yarns’ Mini Skein Palettes. I got the purple/pink combo and after a bit of pondering came up with a plan. I’m knitting stripey socks.

Best discount of the year of Craftsy Classes
Poor, neglected blog. I’ve been a bit crazy prepping for a holiday season that I’ll be spending at someone else’s house, taking care of a new cat (all hail Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All), and trying to get some creative mojo back with much sewing and preparatory winter nesting. I have a goal to blog […]
