Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love."
Lao Tzu
I made a gift.
This is the pattern.
It is meant to be a sundress.
But I thought,"why not a fall jumper?"
So I proceeded confidently.
a knit bodice...
Crisscrossed in the back...
I decided on two strands of Sundara...
two separate but complimenting colors,
with a profound result.
very regal...
so it was perfect for this little princess.
a deep regal purple baby corduroy...
I made pleats...instead of gathers...
and of course it had to be lined with a
lighter color sateen.
After all it is for a princess.
She loves it...
so happy she twirled and twirled...
I should have had a modeled view...
but she wore it with a pink polka dot top {smile}
she is after all a princess...so she may do as she likes...
Do you have this book ?
As I said earlier,
I have been thinking about giving...
and wondering if you wanted to as well.
I would like to organize a swap.
A Knitter's Magic Yarn ball swap.
And am looking for say...30-50 people to pair up for this.
The idea is simple.
You wind a skein of yarn around some trinkets...
let's say you start with a small pincushion...or whatever...
and continue to wind...adding a few things here and there...
and finally you have a ball.
All wound with treasures to share.
tie it with a pretty ribbon and send it off.
We could aim to send it the first of the new year...
I know this year unfortunately is rapidly approaching an end.
So let me know if you are interested.
I will do the match ups and send each person their partner.
I'd like to have all interested names
and emails by the beginning of December.
I think this sort of kindness is something
we all could use now and again.
So...what do you think??
