Hey folks!
I’ve been doing more uncrafting around here than anything else. This weekend I unravelled no fewer than three projects. Shocking!
This and this:
Equestiran Blazer
Picovoli
Languished in my closet rarely worn so they became this:
Future vest and Oh Pioneer!
And these fat socks:
Obesity kills
Were also reincarnated.
Jawoll Aktion
It doesn’t really bug me to frog. It irks me more to waste expensive yarn on projects I never wear.
I also took the scissors to this Tommy Hilfiger skirt that was a little too square dance for me.
The slippers make the outfit. Skirt colour is much more accurate here.
But I’m not all that sure if it’s more flattering now.
Me and my shadow
I was going for a pencil skirt shape but didn’t quite make it there. The tights are from We Love Colors. The colour is great but they are super long. Note to nylon manufacturers: big thighs does not equal legs that go on for days.
I’ve also challenged myself to the Flickr 365 project. I’m hoping it will spark some creativity, force me to run a comb through my hair and gain some patience and confidence as a very amateur photographer. Plus Jukebox Week has been totally awesome and inspiring.

Good for you for frogging! I have a couple of sweaters I don’t wear and should frog, but I’m not as bold as you.
And I like what you did to the skirt. It’s much more flattering — makes you look taller and slimmer!

What didn’t you like about the Picolvi. It looks great on you in the photo.

Your refashioned skirt is definitely more flattering. The pencil skirt is the one that suits hourglass shapes. You look hourglassy!! I am hourglassy and curvy and I am about to fix a few A-line skirts I have.

that skirt looks awesome!! I’m so jealous of your ease in frogging. I have projects sitting on the needles for *years* because I can’t bring myself to admit that it’s never going to happen. Sigh. One of these days, though, I swear!!

I do the same thing with frogging. If I don’t wear something often, I have no problem frogging it. Good for you! Also, I think the skirt is quite flattering. It’s a cross between a pencil shape and a mini, though not mini length. I like it!

I don’t think I can frog a project that easily. Good for you for being able to do so!
Love the new look of the skirt.

You’ve been really busy undoing! I’m in awe of anyone that can do that 365 thing. I’d peter out after a day or two. :)

As someone who just completed a sweater knit with yarn that was previously been knit into not one, but two previous sweaters? I feel your pain/pleasure. You’ll feel triumphant in the end!

Thanks for the link to the tights website, I’ve always wanted colored tights for my chubby legs and now I can!

The skirt looks so much better. I look forward to seeing what you do with the yarn!
