No comments:
I so luv cashmere anything! lol!
and I have been making fun cashmere scarves as gifts for friends,,, but when I looked at this mans damaged sweater,,, I could not resist,,, making a cardigan out of it for me...
sorry the photos are so dark... but...
 I cut the damaged hem waist band off
 then cut up the middle of the front

now to crochet the raw edges...  I will post a photo here as soon as it is done.

I have not fallen off the face of the planet... just up to my eyeballs in 'Stuff'...
Here are some pics,,, I will let you figure it out...
 before....
 during....
almost done...
soon to be,,, Burlap and Lace by Grace.... 
I will be opening a little cottage shop in the Historic Village of Coarsegold,,, for the next 9 months,,, to test the waters...
It will be a eclectic  mix of vintage, modern, western, recycled and re-purposed items...
There are about 18 of us in little shops,, and the vendors are all so wonderful....
I am trying to get the shop opened by mid March,,, but I had to make a trip down south,,, and then the rains (and we are getting more this weekend) delayed the painting... but soon it will be open...and hopefully I will turn a profit..
I will post more as I get closer to opening date.
Wish me luck!
