Menokreatikkul; Saturday Stitches

 

Mac1 was very happy with the little pouch I shared with you last week and has provided two images showing it with the little workbook it was created to protect, which gives you a chance to see her miniature collage skills, too!

Another FO needed to find its way to the intended recipient... the summer jacket for Aitch. We met up in Edinburgh (more on that in due course) and when she tried it on, I could instantly see that it would have been better to not only take her main measurements but also check her shoulder width. I give only the back image as it shows best where I mistook. This is directly per the pattern I was using, but I could have adapted it as I did for my own. So I have kept back the garment to adjust. I have (I hope!) just sufficient yarn left to draw in over the shoulders, plus, per her request, reduce the back scoop. Although the pattern does have this very wide circular neckline, Aitch would prefer it further up her back. So, a little challenge for the hooker here!!! 

We both really liked the drape on her, though, and she said it felt really nice on. It floats and swings nicely, and the cap sleeve is just the right length for her. (We agreed the black check shirt was not the best for modelling it, but I hadn't warned her in advance!) Full poses when adjustments are made!
