Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Yay! Congratulations!
Congrats!
What kind of cast off are you using?
Congrats!!! Make sure you wait to taste the champagne until you are finished. I have interesting knitting project done while drinking.
Pam
Pop! There's some in the fridge if you want to drive to PA.
Verification? hearilth = Now hear this?
Champagne at this stage may just slow you down....lets not draw it out any longer :-) I'm sure you'd only want to cast off once!!
Ooooo! Can't wait to see it out of the sea urchin stage!
This time the verification word is bedoffed, either hat-doffing or pushing a cat off the bed, your choice.
Congratulations! Champagne definitely in order!
Yay you!!
Love the knitted dress - but what about a yarn using lycra/elastane - with either cotton or wool, or wool and cotton - that should spring back, fit properly and look fab - oh and not weigh as much!
Re the goob - stretching the rules is part of the fun stuff about growing up - that's streeeeetttching - not breaking!
I remembered yesterday that I once owned a white angora sweater dress. I was 18 and had a svelte 18 year old body. I don't remember any saggy butt issues but then I was considerable thinner then and probably wasn't thinking about having a saggy butt at the time.
And a big WOOT on the cast off! Go Julie, Go Julie!
Woo hoo!
Hey, it's morning now...break out the mimosa!
Congrats. I haven't knit any lace as complex as yours but the stuff you knit is "my kind of crazy". Looking forward to the finished object shots.
