current projects

Currently I'm working on the FrouFrou sweater from The Happy Hooker. I think I've started it 8 times now, but this last start looks to be the one that will actually get finished. It turns out that I don't need to just be worried about having the right size hook--I've also got to have the right brand of hook. My Hero K and Boye K are so not the same size it turns out, and the one I like better doesn't work at all for this project. This is the first time I've had that happen, usually any kook works so long as it's the right size.

I'm also determined to make a skirt and a petticoat this week. Or weekend rather. I won't be able to get ribbon for the petticoat until Thursday, and I'm resisting cutting out the skirt for some reason. Eh, I'll force myself to get on it in the next day or so, and once it's cut out it should be easy to finish.

I think my plan for Halloween this year is to find/make a vintage outfit, and wander around in a full petticoat and everything, pretending it's a totally different year.
