How is March almost over?! It may officially be Spring, but one day I get to pull out my Summer wardrobe and enjoy an insanely warm day, and then there are gray, chilly days when I still feel like hibernating in a sweater.
And that is my excuse for still being allowed to post sweater projects to the blog that are probably going to be put away for the season very soon. Or perhaps the weather will turn rainy and damp again (one can only hope for a little more precipitation or California is going to be in real trouble) and I will once again be living in tweedy knits and turtlenecks. But it was in the mid-eighties a couple of days ago, so most likely the heavier knits will be tucked away.
But for now I am enjoying my hand knits. I go through phases where I don't wear them for some time, and the next thing I know, I want to live in them.
Oh, and you may have noticed, those fabulous velvet platforms from the late 90s that I was wearing have suddenly disappeared. Turns out, shoe glue gives out at the most inconvenient of times. In this case, right in the middle of a photoshoot, I stepped right out off of the entire bottom of the shoe. And a few steps later, the other one joined its mate.
They are still in a time-out while I figure out if I am going to fix them myself or take them to a proper shoe repair. My Royal Vintage (now American Duchess) shoes filled in for the day, but I was rather irked at my fickle shoes. Sure, I have had a heel cap pop off in a sidewalk crack or even in a lawn, but this was a little bit extreme, and certainly rendered the shoes unwearable for the time being!
In the last couple of years, short skirts paired with colorful tights have been bringing me joy. I am even thinking about making myself another short skirt with more of a flared silhouette, but it may have to wait until the end of the year as the time for wearing tights in Northern California is nearing an end.
While writing this post, I am reminded that I haven't been doing any knitting lately, and I probably need to rectify that situation.
Of course, I have a few projects floating about that need to be finished, but I am also feeling the urge to jump into a fresh new project with some soft squishy yarn.
Or perhaps I should stick with my hand quilting for the moment. I will have to see how I feel with my spare time this weekend!
There is a rumor that we may have a bit of precipitation this Sunday, so the knitting may win out. What is it about a wet day that makes me crave sitting on the couch, drinking tea, and knitting the entire day away?!
Lovely makes, the fabric in your skirt is gorgeous, sorry to read of your shoes....hope a suitable fix found soon
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, love the color of the sweater
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Laura Mae, on one leg, and chock full of yourself - duly noted.
ReplyDeleteThe footwear swap is a testimony to your shoe carnival.
As for the weather, complain or control, some of are you certain you do both.
