I'm still here... And pretty excited

I know, I've not posted for a while (ok not for ages). It's not that I've not being doing stuff, it's just that other parts of my life have required my attention. I'm hoping to rectify this in the next few months, but in the meantime, be reassured that I'm continuing to create.

So onto the excitement bit... Woo hoo! Andi from Untangling Knots and Lauren from Lladybird have organised an Outfit Along. What an awesome idea! Andi has released a new cardigan pattern Myrna. She will host a knit along. Having just made Andi's Miette, I'm dead keen to try out this new pattern.

Lauren will host a sew along using Simplicity 1803. Now, this is not on my to do list or in my pattern stash and honestly I don't think that this is a pattern that I would normally use. But that doesn't matter. You can make any dress. So I've chosen Simplicity 2444. Fuller skirts are not usually my thing, but I want to try the pleats.

I'm hopeful that I'll be able to complete everything in the required time, before the end of July. I have some leave coming up and this would be the perfect time to knit up a new cardi.  There's also plenty of time to try out the dress pattern.

Off to find some fabric for (hopefully) a wearable muslin and match it with some 10ply, probably from Bendies  I have fallen in love with their sunflower shade.
