This gray sweater is so cute but it’s my least worn sweater which makes me feel a little bad because aesthetically I love it. Today I realized the actual reason for this is that it’s probably the warmest sweater I own which is honestly real weird to me given how little of my body it technically covers??? By the time I officially finished this last year— by which I mean sewed on the extra button it needed— it was much too warm for any wool sweater but this fall any time I put it on I’d go “cute!” And then be too warm and remove it.
Anyway in 35 degree weather— 28 with windchill— the sweater and scarf are completely warm and comfortable. If it was sunny and not windy I probably would not need the scarf. I think the warmth must be a combination of gage and those big bell sleeves? I would assume it’s the super bulky yarn but I don’t find my pink super bulky sweater too warm to wear indoors in the winter.
The first Llama wool sock is finished and it's a fricken disaster. You'd think an experienced, skilled knitted such as myself would be past the point of losing 14 whole stitches in the middle of a project and you would be wrong.
A Reintroduction
Hello to all the people who never got around to unfollowing me, and Hello World!
This is me! Look at me, my blog title is a pun! You see? Because I am a singer and a Singer is also a brand of sewing machine? Do you get it? I don’t own a Singer machine, though, unfortunately.
I’m a 26-year-old opera singer who sews and knits. I have an eclectic sense of style ranging from ren faire to modern hippie to historical. I’m trying to make all of my own clothes and replace all of my bras with corsets and stays. We’ll see if that ever actually happens.
I thought about making a new blog for this project but decided I should honor past me by overhauling my old blog, formerly a-bag-of-cats.
From this point forward, this blog is a sewing diary. If you’re not interested in seeing my sewing process and reading walls of text, you can unfollow now. :)
