Me-Made Wardrobe Update

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have picked up on the fact that I put the slow in slow fashion.  In my defense (because we are all a little defensive about the mountain of works in progress we have) I was pregnant for most of 2018, making wardrobe fitting a little difficult.  As I write this post, I am wearing my new little guy in his baby carrier, which can also impede wardrobe creation.  But really, if I am honest, I just have a ton of projects coming down the line and I can't keep up.  I am, however, moving forward.  That counts for something, right?

Right now, I have one pullover that I have finished knitting and am now seaming together. (That is an awesome "almost done" that just hasn't finished yet.) I also am working on a few garments from Alabama Chanin's Build a Wardrobe 2018 line.  (Alabama Chanin and The School of Making- check it out if you haven't heard of it.  AWESOME.)  There is a lovely tunic top from Purl Soho I have finished sewing and am now working on embellishing with some hand stitching.  And that is pretty much the long and short of it.  Pretty good start, I just need to get in gear and complete some things- otherwise my me-made wardrobe is woefully unwearable. 

I have a lot of big plans for 2019.  Both personal goals and ambitions for my website and contributions to the fiber community.  I am playing it fairly close to the chest until I am a little closer to reaching some of my goals.  The last thing I want to do is fall short on you, my lovely reader.  But I will say I want to have some fun and have decided, among other things, that 2019 will be the year of socks!  Hold me to it.  They belong in a me-made wardrobe, too.  I want a pair of socks a month.  Of course that won't happen, but I'm going to try!
