Hey gang!!

I hope you are all busy stitching today. The North East is getting slammed with a lot of snow. A good day to sit & create!!

As for me, I have been working on some grannie square slippers from a vintage pattern. I did them in some leftover acrylic yarn ( not the best kind, but good enuf for slippers that will get a beating on my hardwood floors!!). I'll try to post a photo when they are completed.

I want to make a bikini from the same vintage brochure. This would be my first real clothing. Any advice is welcomed. I already know that I'll be using a cotton blend. I'm only using the bikini to sun in, but I don't want any stretch. Post me about any of your own experiences working with a cotton blend or suggestions of brands of yarn to use.

Anyway, today's a snow day in Baltimore so I'm off to work on some new motifs. Have a great day!!!!
