Notes

i’m about halfway done with the knitting portion. about two and a half balls into this project. i told the mannequin to cover up, she was being indecent, but she wouldn’t listen. hopefully the neckline will pull in a little once i put the ribbing on.

2/28 so very close to the finishing line… i just have to weave the neckline ribbing in, and finish the armholes. i’m having some issues deciding how to do that… it looks great, though. fits beautifully, too.

3/11 whoo hoo! done done done. the ruffly shoulder bits don’t really suit carlyn, so i went for the more business-like 2x2 rib instead. other modifications were the length, and the subsequent increases so that the vest wouldn’t ride up. i really love the way this turned out, and carlyn seems to, too. yay! etta-puppy even joined us for some of the photos.

p.s. in a short that carlyn and i were in together, she played the character of zoe. unrelated to firefly, but we’re all big damn fans. (you can look it up on youtube, if you feel so inclined… it’s called wednesdays with zoe & chloe and it’s under the username tentilone. oh, wait, i know how to link…. here.)
