Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

I’ve ordered the sweater from White Lies Designs for my daughter’s wedding. She has convinced me to knit it although it won’t fit properly over the sash of her wedding dress. She wants it so much she says she’ll remove the sash! It’s not like she won’t be able to wear it after the wedding. We’ve decided to go for 3/4 length sleeves without cuffs.

While browsing White Lie’s fabulous patterns, including lingerie, we came across an interesting typo in the description for a corset set. It says it "puts the fun in fuctional," leaving out the "n" in functional. A subliminal message? Check it out, see if it’s still there. We wrote them an e-mail. It gave us a good giggle.

Here are some photos. The first is the third colour of yarn from the Yarn Co-op’s Fleece Artist purchase, in a colourway called "Wild Flowers," a little pale, but pretty. Speaking pf pretty, the second is from a package from Leah of Knittin Pretty. She sent out thank you gifts to a number of people who made suggestions for baby patterns. You know my spring colours, thanks, Leah.

    Oh, the sweater you ordered for your daughter is so beautiful, I can’t blame her one bit for doing – almost – everything to get it! 🙂

    Trust you to find something (typo) like that 😉
    The sweater will be lovely. How’s the rest of the planning coming along?

    Of course, I HAD to check – and the “n” is still missing. But they’re right – my husband would probably sit up and take notice if I started knitting something like that. The wedding sweater is going to be beautiful. Can’t wait to see it on her.
