FO: Ms. Marigold

Finally something finished! It feels like it has been a while! This is Ms. Marigold -we've had a love/hate relationship. I'm leaning towards the love side right now...we'll see how I feel after I give it a wash. I hear alpaca tends to grow, so it may be HUGE afterwards!



I had a real tough time getting gauge with this tank. I ended up going up a few needle sizes from what was called for and getting a somewhat looser fabric which I don't love. It is very soft and comfy though, not itchy at all! I wish I didn't feel so self-conscious when I am wearing stuff I've made myself. Hopefully I'll get over that after I've made a few more things that I like! I will probably make Ms. Marigold again in the spring with a different yarn. MLE made a really nice one out of Rowan Wool Cotton which I may give a try.

Here is my little soccer star. First time playing in goal and he loved every second of it! Why do they have to make the jersey's so large for such a little guy? Poor kid! He looks like he's wearing a dress! Didn't matter to him though, all he care about was diving on the ball anytime it came near the net. Even if diving was completely unnecessary. It was all about getting dirty!
