Needlework is so therapeutic. I put some swirly embroidery around the edges and cuffs of the sweater I refashioned earlier this week. It was more for my benefit than for the sweater’s. But I think the sweater’s better, too.
And finally, Midge gets to stop being a hussy and wear a few more clothes.
It turns out that the sweater’s made of acrylic, not wool as I originally thought. I normally don’t buy synthetics. Still, as the sweater doesn’t fit me, I like how it turned out well enough to put it up for sale in my Etsy shop.
I’m driving over the Rocky Mountains into Idaho tomorrow for a weekend-long, middle-school soccer tournament. May not be posting for a few days, as I’ll probably play dead for a while upon returning.
Have a lovely weekend!

I read your previous post on the sweater. I'm certainly impressed with the outcome. The embroidery is a nice touch.
I love what you did to the sweater. I'm surprised that the acrylic allowed it.
