My new life goal is to at some point make a gorgeous dress with manipulated fabric. If you, like me, are new to the official term for this fantastic art form, check out the links below.

yiqing yin fabric
Enjoy!
This is a very beautiful way to clothe a human body.
I'm thinking a cathedral window stitch dress to start out, and then experimenting with crazy fabrics using distressing techniques

Soon To Be Etsy Store: Rambledown Road
I am working on some projects for a planned Etsy store opening. Here is one such item!
Sneak Peek of Nearly Finished Dress!
A 1940s remake with gathered shoulders and a V neck and back! More pictures coming soon.

Katniss Cowl Reworked
As usual when using any sort of pattern or following a set plan, it's impossible for me not to deviate. Instead of knitting down from the neck as LollyKnits does, I knit two separate strips for the circular top, two triangular pieces (a small one across the chest, and a larger one for the back) and a long strip (diagonally across the front).
I scrapped the whole complicated rope-y design on the back (featured in the original) because it was added weight and I just wanted this project to be FINISHED so I could wear it. I added pieces of uncarded wool and strands of embroidery thread for color, and different weight and types of yarn for texture and chunkiness. I love how shows often amp up the shoulder/mantle portion of dresses on women's clothes. It's more imposing and badass.
This cowl makes you instantly warmer, like a polar bear is hugging you. It also makes a nice little cat shelf.
