finally i’ve made some new clothing and delivered it to sodafine (next post will be all about williamsburg’s cutest new shop!) nearly a month after my self-imposed deadline of october 1st. this is one of my biggest goals: to start working on each season WAY earlier than i do and actually produce a quantity of pieces so that i am prepared when the season begins. what usually happens is more like: a few months before the season i think ‘i should probably get started, but it seems so early! i’ve got plenty o’ time…’ and then things come up– freelance jobs, personal projects, sheep and wool fests– and next thing i know i’m playing catch-up and stressing out.
i am pretty happy with how these turned out; i have been envisioning them since late last winter. since it would be impossible to crochet entire sweaters (i would never get them done and they’d be like $500 wholesale) the idea of incorporating small details of it seemed practical. two of these even use my own handspun yarn. i like to make clothes that are warm and cozy but still appealing, which seems to be a rare concept! 
does this red shirt look familiar? it’s made with the filet piece i made back in july in ohio, when time seemed so plentiful! i really like this shirt; the seam actually hits above the bustline but my mannequin’s chest is way too high. i need to get a real one as her body shape is completely off.
