I said I was going to walk away from the sewing machine. And I sort of did. Then I decided to make the Ryan Top. But I turned it into a dress.

I also managed to really up my game for this one. All the seams are French. The yoke is self-lined and the gathers are enclosed in it. There are ZERO raw edges and that makes me super happy. It took double the time, but it was so worth it.

I finished my Creme Brule top too!

I knit it as the pattern says. But I did wear it backwards a few times until I realized that. It is the perfect summer tee. The lace gives it some visual interest without overpowering it at all. I definitely would like to knit this again in a finer yarn.

And finally, I got my hands on some t-shirt yarn and crocheted a bag! What else? It is not like I love making anything more than bags!

The pattern is in the Instagram comments. If you aren’t already following me, please do, I hope to release a pattern at least once a month going forward. But I will probably be avoiding t-shirt yarn for some time. That stuff is brutal on my hands, but it does look pretty. So I am pretty sure it will eventually call me again.

Have a wonderful day! And be kind! To yourself and everyone around you.
