One Way to Battle Back

I know, that last post bummed you out.

Make your own clothes; make your own life!  Remember the Seam Allowance project?  Well, this dress - the Soho Smocked Dress from Kristina McGowan's Modern Top-Down Knitting - is one of my most recent contributions to my wardrobe.  Huzzah!  Made in Hamilton, ON and Berlin, Germany!

W.I.Ps? What About Them?

I've decided to erase the "Works in Progress" chalkboard because rather than inspiring/reminding me about projects I've started, it just taunts me with the things I have yet to finish.  I know - same difference, but the latter carries guilt with it.  Kind of counterproductive.

In celebration of the blank chalkboard (as well as the end of a rather busy period) I've decided to take on a new knitting project - the Soho Smocked Dress from Kristina McGowan's Modern Top-Down Knitting.

I had this book in mind while I was killing time in The Knit Cafe in Toronto yesterday with the boy.  Unfortunately, my experience there was less than ideal.
