I used Mirasol Nuna yarn (5 skeins dk purple, 1 skein lt purple). I shortened the sleeves to 3/4 length and added about 2-3 inches in the torso. </div>

I like this one a lot. Can't wait to wear it! I did make a lot of changes, though. I shortened the dress by about 4". Also, I shortened the straps by about 6" each and the off the shoulder straps by about 2" each. I shortened the off-the-shoulder straps by cutting them and then sewing them in the back of the dress like you sew the rest of the dress...it made shortening them easy because you can see all the seams anyways! I also made the regular straps straight instead of pull to one side so that you don't see my bra straps. </div>

I made this lunch bag for Matt since he has no fridge or microwave at work. He wanted it to say Jeep on it, seeing that he work at Chrysler and all....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern is from a Blog <a href="https://sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/insulated-laminated-lunch-bag-goes-back-school" target="_blank">here.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My only complaint is that it's a little bit small for an adult lunchbag. Other than that, it's awesome!</div>

<br />
And it's GORGEOUS! And I love it! HEHE<br />
<br />
<strong>Pattern: </strong>Botanica Medallion Cardigan on the cover of Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2009<br />
<strong>Needles: </strong>US 4 & US 5<br />
<strong>Yarn: </strong>Viking of Norway Milk & Honey, 5 skeins<br />
<strong>Notes: </strong>LOVE this!!!!! This yarn feels magnifiscent to wear. When I sewed the armholes, I sewed them slightly higher than the halfway point..I think it fit a little better that way. :)<br />

<strong>Pattern: </strong><a href="http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m5391-products-8759.php?page_id=114" target="_blank">M5391</a></div>

<strong>Fabric: </strong>Some really cheap, somewhat stretchy stuff from Haberman's. This was meant to be my wearable muslin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Size: </strong>I made a 10</div>
<strong>Alterations: </strong>The ONLY thing I added were 2 small darts in the back waist band so it would fit a bit more snug. I wanted to make it exactly as written because this is my muslin-hence the cheapo fabric. I do have some things I would change for next time. The pockets are gaping a lot. Some other reviewer said to use stay tape (I think..I have to look that up again) to fix the gaping. I would also add a button hole above the zipper instead of the hook & eye. It just seems like the hook & eye isn't strong enough for such a highly used area. The leg openings are the perfect width. The fit is really pretty good and I'm happy with the outcome. Maybe next time, I could also add a back pocket. <br />

<strong>Pattern: </strong>Vogue 2880</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Size: </strong>I made a 12</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Fabric: </strong>Georgette for the exterior and a china silk lining, both from Haberman's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Alterations/Notes: </strong>This dress takes a LOT of time. That being said, if you are willing to put the appropriate time into making this one, it is definitely worth the effort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lining is done inside out. I was a little confused when sewing it together to the actual dress because typically the seams in the lining face the inside of the dress so that when you look at the dress interior, you don't see the seams. This dress, however, is opposite. You WILL see the seams on the interior of the dress (which some of them are covered up by the foundation). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I particularly liked the fact that the pattern was very well written and easy to follow (even if there were 148 steps..) I skipped around in the pattern so that I could do the lining as soon as I did the exterior (since they were the same, it made sense to me to do them at the same time..the pattern has you do the exterior first and then the lining). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And some changes:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. I used 1/2" plastic rings instead of D rings per other people's suggestions. </div>
2.The dress came out a little big in the waist area. I took in at the corset about 2" because when I pulled it tight, the ribbon didn't lay flat. <br />
3.I also took the seam in about 2" where the skirt connects to the bodice because it was sitting too low on my hips. <br />
4.I tacked down about 3/4" or maybe 1" up at the front neckline because I felt I needed to be a TAD bit more modest...I kept trying to pull it closed when it was on and I think that just tacking it did the trick. <br />
5. I did not sew in the hanging straps. I have them pinned in to hang the dress and that way when I wear it, I can just un-pin them and not have annoying straps popping out. <br />
6. I did not think that the straps needed shortening like a lot of the reviews stated. They do stick out from the shoulder, but if they didn't, you wouldn't be able to lift your arms up to dance. <br />

<strong>Size: </strong>Again, my guage was small, so I made the 36 to fit 34"<br />
<strong>Needles: </strong>Size 2. Yes, size 2. I went way smaller because the bigger sizes would have been see-through<br />
<strong>Yarn: </strong>Tahki Yarns, Lily-8 skeins<br />
<strong>Notes: </strong>I made the normal sized ruffle. This turned out cute-I like it!<br />

<strong>Pattern: </strong><a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/swing-dress" target="_blank">Swing Dress from Skacel</a><strong><br />Yarn: </strong>Zauberwolle from Skacel, 6 skeins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>Needles: </strong>Ranged from an 11 at the bottom to a 4 at the top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Size: </strong>The pattern had only 1 size..I'm a 34 bust.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Notes:</strong> </div>
I don’t think the arc pattern was translated properly into english. Instead, I’m doing a typical feather and fan as follows:<br />
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
Row 1:(K2tog) 3x, (yo, k1) 6x, (k2tog) 3x</div>
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
So…somehow on the decreases, I ended up with 33 extra stitches…so…I did another round of decreases and now I have 219 sts.</div>
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
Anyways, made a few changes: <br />
Did some extra decreasing for the waist (and went to an even smaller needle) and then increased back to the 224 for the ribcage/bust. I ended on a size 4 needle for the top portion. <br />
I made the back a V-neck also because I thought it was cuter. I think maybe I will even make a second one stopping at the waist for a cute skirt!</div>
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="notes markdown" style="text-align: left;">
Super happy with how this turned out!</div>

I gave her a coupon for her birthday saying she could pick a knit or sewn project of her choice and I would make it for her. Sooo she wanted a knit afghan. I had her pick out the design and the colors and yarn and here's how it came out! I am very excited about it. Maybe I will keep it for myself. :) <br />
<br />
Also, thank you to Ruth for taking such beautiful pictures for me!<br />

<strong>Needles: </strong>Size 7 for the wrap, size 8 for the flowers<br /><strong>Yarn: </strong>King Baby Llama for the wrap (3 skeins), Shepherd's Wool for the flowers (1 skein each color)<br /><strong>Notes:</strong> Used ONE strand of Shepherd’s Wool for the flowers. For the center, I added in some fun fur which I trimmed a lot after they were felted. <br />For the stem, I only knit about 6 rounds of i-cord and I eliminated the green leaves since when you sew them onto the shawl, you wouldn’t see them anyway.<br />

And it's so pink and fun!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="notes markdown">
<strong>Pattern:</strong> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/1302-the-ella-coat-for-women" target="_blank">Ella Coat for Women</a><br />
<strong>Needles: </strong>Size 7<br />
<strong>Size: </strong>Smallest<br />
<strong>Yarn:</strong> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/classic-elite-yarns-liberty-wool" target="_blank">Classic Elite Yarns Liberty Wool</a><br />
<strong>Notes: </strong><br />
After starting from the bodice and working increases, I added 1” (6 rows) before beginning arm holes. <br />
I did the original ruffles because I thought that with the striping, the picot ruffle was too much.<br />
I did three buttons right beneath the bust. I was tempted to do a zipper, but decided against it. This was for two reasons--one being that the bust was a touch small and two because I had a big pink stripe right above my bust which made my girls look saggy. Haha. Anyways, I love the three buttons which accentuate the curves in all the right places.<br />
I would put how many skeins I used…and I really tried to keep track…but I lost track. Sorry!<br />

<br />
The first is Vogue 8465 and the second is Vogue 2880.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8465-products-8976.php?page_id=265" target="_blank">V8465:</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/filebin/images/product_images/Full/V8465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/filebin/images/product_images/Full/V8465.jpg" uda="true" width="303" /></a></div>
I would make the long version.<br />
<br />
<br />
Or:<br />
<a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v2880-products-6838.php?page_id=316&search_control=display&list=search" target="_blank">V2880:</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/filebin/images/product_images/Full/V2880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/filebin/images/product_images/Full/V2880.jpg" uda="true" width="303" /></a></div>
Again, I would make the long version.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hmmm...I might make the jacket first so I can still wear it this season...but then again, I have a wedding in June I could wear the dress to....hmmmmm I just can't decide!! :D:D<br />
<br />
I may just have to go to the fabric store to see if I fall in love with a specific fabric and go from there. <br />
