I like hoodies, but....


I once made a sweater this shade of blue, with a hood. It looked much like, this actually, except I made to it actually fit--and to fit as a sweater, not as a dress. I remembered to stop when I got to the end, not just knit until I ran out of yarn. She looks like she has horribly flabby arms, and has a hoop skirt frame around her hips. No to mention the fact that sweater dresses make me shudder involuntarily.

Extra Credit


I have a friend who used to drive me crazy, because she needed to be assured that everything matched, down to her socks and watch. This getup, from our friends in Bulgaria, gets extra credit for having matching knitted boots to go with the bag and coat.

I think that's supposed to be a hat on her head, but the tie hanging down in the back makes it look like a high-class attempt at a do rag.
