E has been quite busy 'making stuff'- his Exquisite City contribution and a present for his brother that shall remain a secret for the time being, shh!- so the 'make stuff' bug has rubbed off a bit.
I've been crocheting this to wear to a holiday function (going as my mom's date):
I'm working with a nice, cozy white alpaca that I just love. I bought it at Nina, on Division. Nice.
I also made a skirt using Jenny from Wiksten's pattern in Stitch. Supersoft pinwale corduroy from Vogue...buttons that I covered in fabric myself and yet...The skirt does not fit well, but that's my fault. Such poor seamstress skills. I hate when I put so much effort in to something and it just doesn't turn out right. For now it's in my closet, awaiting a fresh eye.
