It's going off to Nicole who's little one is only a couple of months old, so it will be well rested before it gets worn again!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-17452977109249521592014-10-10T22:16:46.726+11:002014-10-10T22:16:46.726+11:00Thank you!

I always think: I should be able to do that without a pattern, but it's so much easier when someone else has done the designing.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-30398709761360298492014-10-10T22:15:01.353+11:002014-10-10T22:15:01.353+11:00Thanks Suzy.

I almost wish it wasn't spring so it would get worn. thankfully the deer can be taken off and put on another sweater for next winter.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-57579926862753584362014-10-10T22:13:10.956+11:002014-10-10T22:13:10.956+11:00Well, if you like "self saucing cake", t...Well, if you like "self saucing cake", that is, the kind of cake that's burnt around the edges and still liquid in the centre then you're on. I simply can not bake. I do like the idea of playing with that icing though. Looks like play dough for grown ups!<br />I was pleasantly surprised by the generous length of the skirt. I'm sure I'll make more. Seems a good way to use up different coloured bits that are too small for anything else.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-63463983565293422312014-10-10T22:10:12.947+11:002014-10-10T22:10:12.947+11:00Thanks Nicole!

Of course you should win - the judges know a good thing when they see it:) And so fun to see that knit skirt you made - I hope it gets oodles of wear! Somehow, the one I made for Lilah seems to go with everything (according to her) and is still on regular rotation (though getting short). There is just something about the comfort of knit . . . <br />And that blue knit dress you're giving away makes me so sentimental! That was the very first Japanese pattern I sewed and did so with great fear and trembling. But it turned out to be the cutest little dress ever! You are so generous to share it with someone who can enjoy it still!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042868068336882455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-3261072585354718272014-10-07T19:57:00.643+11:002014-10-07T19:57:00.643+11:00Congrats on winning the first place at the show!

Good idea. As for your blue-ribbon-winning deer jumper, what a fantastic (and well-deserved) achievement! I've managed to avoid going to the show the past few years but the times I've been, I've always enjoyed checking out the crafts and cakes. Hey how about you start working on your sponge for next year? Happy to come over and be your taster while you practise :)marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715341254331190992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-80123776915521863252014-10-07T15:12:44.107+11:002014-10-07T15:12:44.107+11:00Holy moly!
