Vogue Cropped Jacket Body Finished!
While I work my way through the pictures from this weekend (friend in town=CRAZINESS!), I wanted to pop up and say hi! I don’t think I’ve been away from you this long ever. I miss ya.
I mentioned before that I was getting low on the Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool for my Vogue Cropped Jacket. I worked on it a little bit this weekend, enough to know that once Elizabeth left town I would need to high tail it over to JoAnn and get another skein.
But look how cute! I finished the whole body! I love this sweater, it came together really well. I had a little problem attaching the sleeves and the body for the yoke decreases, and I fudged the numbers and just worked with what I had. So far I’m really happy with it! I even slipped it on despite the heat to see what it looked like. Pieces left? The front panels and neckline.
So I battled the storms this afternoon and made it to JoAnn, where I was met with one of the most painful sights ever:
I Mean, Seriously?
It is August 17th. I feel bad enough scheduling holiday themed classes in September, but to pull out your Christmas yarn on AUGUST 17th?! Something told me that this trip wasn’t going to end well.
I found the Fishermen’s Wool section. I looked up:
Close...
I looked down:
Nope.
Huh. I asked someone and apparently JoAnn doesn’t carry the Maple Tweed I got at Hobby Lobby in Michigan.
So, you have it right. I have to now order a skein of Lion Brand Fishermen’s Wool in Maple Tweed online.
But at least I don’t have to look at Christmas yarn on JoAnn.com.
