People. Winter is here, even in my area (which means rain and below 60’s temperatures right now), and it’s only going to get colder.
And I need a coat. Not necessarily a super heavy winter one, but at least a wool warm coat. I bought a pattern at the pre-Thanksgiving Joann’s sale.
And I could use another pair of jeans. I’m thinking bootcut this time. The Ginger jeans pattern just needs an alteration or two.
And I want to make another sweater. I’ve got this sweater knit, and I should have a pattern to work with (but I need to check my “muslin” again). I’ll show you the first one soon, I promise.
For that matter, I should really finish this sweater I’m knitting. I’m almost done the two sleeves! After that it’s just the fronts…
So there’s two weeks before I head home for the holiday break, and I’d like to accomplish this short list… I know I can make jeans in a day, and the last sweater did not take more than a few hours (not the hand-knit one, the other one). So the coat is the big time suck that I will be working through… I’ll try to keep you posted, so I stay accountable… With some extra posts from previous makes sprinkled in, I hope it doesn’t end up to monotonous!
I made a coat a couple of years ago. It took a while and I did learn from a mistake or two along the way. But I am still wearing it and it looks great and is keeping me really, really warm this winter! I’m looking forward to seeing your’s every step of the way.
I’m definitely hoping to keep this for a long time, so I’m glad to hear that your’s is holding up well! I can’t wait to get started tonight and jump right in!
