Forever and Ever

Still working on the plum edition of the Audrey Coat. Not sure why this seems to be taking so much longer than the two I made last spring. Feel as though I will be knitting this forever and ever. At the moment, near the hemline of the body, the whole thing feels like a blanket. I could not have done this in the summer, in our house with no air conditioning. At this point in the year, however, the coziness is actually welcome.

I decided today that I also need a couple of more pieces from Sonya Philip's 100 Acts of Sewing, so I cut out fabric for a dress and another pair of pants, both for wearing at Rosehaven's Wool and Wine Retreat next month.
In the same vein, I've been showing some pairings of my sewn wardrobe + my own knitted designs on Instagram. Here they are:

Buttonbox Waistcoat (wide collar version) + Pants #1 + short boots.

Cataraqui Scarf + Skirt #1 + 13-yr-old J.Jill velvet jacket. (Imagine little heels and raspberry lipstick.)

 Finally, I noticed this simple but amazing planting while out for my morning constitutional.

Hydrangeas and ivy at Queen's University.

 

P.S. For those of you lucky enough to be heading off to Rhinebeck (I won't be going this year), here is a post from 4 years ago with some possibly useful observations.
