Arm Knitting REMIX!!!

I tried this arm knitting craft again.  This looks better than the first attempt. I think I will use one skein next time instead of 2.  The yarn is "chunky" and is 10% wool. It's nice and soft and cuddly. This is a little heavy!! It will keep me warm next Winter!!




Yarn Used (From Joann): $14.99 each 10% Wool & 90% Acrylic
Red Heart Irresistible Yarn Here Color: Enchanting

Arm Knitting Anyone!? ***SIGH***

I'm definately NOT a crocheter or knitter.  Tried both in the past and could not just grasp it.  My Granny was a knitter and one of my Great Aunts was a crocheter.  They made great big, beautiful afghans and quilts, baby blankets, christmas decorations and the list goes on and on!!  I will try this, but I have a feeling I'll be sticking to sewing!!

I will keep trying this arm knitting thing until I can get it down!!

Yarn from Joann

I don't think this is right!

Jumpsuit Tutorial
Merging 2 Patterns to Create 1 Look
Sew-A-Long with Shun D.

PATTERN REVIEW
Shun D.'s tutorial is very easy to follow and merging the 2 patterns is very simple to do.  I will probably make this again in a different solid color maybe an olive green. I cut a size 12 in each pattern but could have gotten away with cutting a 12 top and 10 pants.  The only alterations I had to make was taking the pants and waste in just a tad.  The fabric I used is an ITY knit that has a heavy drape to it and hangs nicely along with a little slinky feeling to it. Basic Black is back!!!!

Pattern Review
This dress was quick and easy to sew and I will sew it again!  I think I'll use a solid color or maybe an "ikat" print on the next one.  I cut the size 12. I did not make any changes or alterations to the pattern.  I do recommend this pattern to others, the instructions were easy to follow and the finished garment looks like the pattern.  I love the bishop sleeves and the tie/belt/sash which gives the look of a "wrap" dress.
