after knitting this slip stitch rib swatch, i realized the wrong side of the fabric was also attractive and might work better with my main stitch pattern.
i love little surprises.

i was going through a pile of my sketches and found this rough little puppy. it was a quick and passing thought sometime last spring or summer. as i was looking at it this time around, i eerily looked up at my inspiration board and saw it had a striking similarity to this garment—ripped right out of this month's vogue magazine. hey now! i gave up on pursuing this idea for i just wasn't sure about it. but, i think i may have to come up with something...just for fun.

the first assignment in my freshman design class was to use scraps from magazines to make spreads in sketchbooks. i still have many of the books i compiled in college and retreat to them often for inspiration. though i haven't assembled a book in quite a while, i am still in the habit of tearing through all my magazines in hopes of returning to this super fun studio activity someday.

thanks again kat for your wonderful words about sd1!
