Month: September 2013

Completed: My Nemesis Blouse (a Fall for Cotton project)

September 29, 2013 Elena KnitsCapoeira, Finished object, SAL, Sewing

This project almost cost me my sewing mojo. September was in general a bad month and I’m still recovering from it. One of my problems is that I always have big plans, and as I’ve seen in past months that I could make four projects in a month, I wanted …

Completed: Calimero

September 19, 2013 Elena KnitsFinished object, Knitting, Pattern test, Testing

I don’t know if you remember an old TV show for kids called Calimero. I confess I didn’t watch this during my childhood since the first series was too early for me and the second too late (I was already a teenager with other things in mind). But when Elizabeth …

Bunking off

September 11, 2013 Elena KnitsCapoeira, Koen, moody, Sewing, Thoughts

Yes, I’ve done it. I had sewing class today and I decided that I was not going. My to do list this week is rather large. I thought that since I was home alone I could entertain myself by doing all those things, but it seems not working. I’ve postponed …

Completed: Blue Puppies Portrait Blouse

September 8, 2013 Elena KnitsFinished object, Koen, Sewing

I finished this blouse this morning after driving Koen to the airport. He’s going to a conference in Paris with some of his colleagues. It was very rewarding to see him yesterday evening packing his Jedediah pants and his Émilien cardigan among all the rest of his clothes. I’ll be …

Testing again

September 6, 2013 Elena KnitsKnitting, Pattern test, Testing

Here I am testing again. This will be a very cozy knit for Autumn and Winter and I’m sure you’ll need more than one. Elizabeth Brassard designed something so simple and wonderful at the same time that I couldn’t resist testing for her. The pattern will be available very soon.

Completed: Jedediah Pants

September 3, 2013 Elena KnitsFinished object, Koen, Sewing

I finished this last Wednesday, but we didn’t have time to take pictures until Saturday and I couldn’t write a post until now. Work is piling up… Koen was asking for a pair of pants for months, so when the Jedediah pants were released, I knew I had to make …

Completed: Lady Skater Dress

September 2, 2013 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewing

This Lady Skater Dress is the dress you’ve seen on yesterday’s post. These pictures were taken just before the ones with the Miette Cardigan, and you can see it because my hair is still wet from the shower (although it dried fast with the heat we still have here). I …

Completed: Miette Cardigan

September 1, 2013 Elena KnitsFinished object, Knitting

I finished this cardigan on Saturday morning and went out to take pictures (yay! I finished the cardigan on time for the Miette KAL). Just don’t pay attention to the dark circles around my eyes. We didn’t go out on Friday evening, we’ve been just at home watching a couple …
