Stash Shopping

It's taken way too long to put away all our camping stuff from vacation, and I took some things to the attic this afternoon... and while I was there, noticed a bag of Susan Bates Sonata (a ringer for Coats Lustersheen) that perfectly matches a shade of green in one of my favorite paisley skirts. Bonus, Go me! Now I need to figure out whether it has the same yardage as Lustersheen...

I'm thinking about a 3/4 or long sleeve cardigan including some kind of lace pattern, but not so open that I can't wear it alone... browsing Ravelry for inspiration.

Circle Jacket Pix



Here they are; Henrietta (my mother's mannequin) and I are modeling the jacket...

Circle Jacket finally done, whew

Finished the circle jacket just in time for Mom's 80th birthday in August.
The jacket was inspired by one from Angel Designs that Mom saw last year in a boutique, but none of the colors suited her. I finally saw one of their jackets in the same 'fabric' but a different style a few weeks ago. I think I like the one I made better.

Pix in next post; it's not letting me add them to this one. I am a complete technoklutz. :(
