I only took one knitting project with me when I was traveling for Christmas, and when I focus on one knitting project at a time – it shows. I managed to finish the body of my handspun sweater the other day, even though I was only a couple inches into the yoke last week. I’ll maybe start the sleeves tonight, but more likely tomorrow or Friday.
And that’s it!
This is the last post of 2014, hope you have a fantastic New Years, and I’ll be back Friday for the first post of 2015, and Week 22 of the self-made wardrobe.
Happy New Years!!!

Just a super super quick note to say:
“Merry Merry Christmas & Happy Happy Hanukkah”
I’ve spent the past week madly embroidering Christmas gifts. Even though I know I said I wouldn’t. This ornament has already been gifted – and all show you the other pieces once they’ve made it into the hands of their recipients.
Now that Christmas gifts are (more or less) taken care of, I’m excited to get back to self-made wardrobe knitting.
My Christmas knitting is a striped top-down raglan sweater knit entirely out of handspun yarn – I can’t wait to dive back in.
puppy proofing my self-made wardrobe
Each Wednesday, I post little snippets about what’s happening, and what I’m working on.
Most of this week was focused on finishing up my first “Archer” button up shirt. It’s now finished – except for the buttons & button holes. I’m hoping to pick up some buttons tomorrow and actually finish it over the weekend.
This is step one in puppy proofing my self-made wardrobe. My dad got a new puppy a couple months ago, and as it turns out my Graphic Silk Circle Skirt (with it’s handkerchief hem), and my Deconstructed Sweater (with it’s extra long sleeves, giant cowl, and dangling threads) are just too tempting for a 4 month old puppy, so when I went to visit for Thanks giving, my sleeves & hems spent a lot of time in the puppy’s mouth.
Luckily nothing ripped, but I’d rather not tempt fate. So step one to puppy proofing my self-made wardrobe is a basic button up shirt that I can just throw on, with no dangling threads, or giant cowls.
And step two is jeans. Step two might not happen by the next time I visit, but either way, it really needs to happen soon. (Which I’ve been saying since week six…)
I also finished up the sleeves of my purple raglan cardigan. I was worried I’d run out of yarn, but I had enough (yay!) and now the sweater just needs a ton of ends woven in (one of the downsides of knitting a sweater completely out of order), a soak and a block.
