change of plans




I started knitting the pattern with the intention of making the top as designed but then as I was knitting my husband asked if it were a skirt, and voilĂ  a different project took shape.

Yarn: Ella Rae Classic Chunky Superwash
Pattern: #1 by Rebecca Design Team

Missoni

What a crazy scene when I arrived at Target this morning to shop the launch of the Missoni line!  There were teams of shoppers cleaning out the shelves and racks of all of the products as fast as they could before another shopper came along.  They were communicating by cell phone with other shoppers in a coordinated attempt to score exactly what they were looking for.  I just happened to be there at the right time to get exactly what I had wanted.  If I had left the house a bit later there would have been nothing left.  Target's website crashed from all of the shoppers.  Clerks said they had never seen anything like it before. When I shopped the launch of the Liberty of London collection I found some great stuff that I could fit into in the girls department, so I headed there today and the leggings in the photo were from the girls department.  They're so soft and cozy.  I love them.
