Yarn Along

I've succumbed!!
Last year I did the Outfit-A-Long with Andi Sutterlund and lladybird and loved it.  I didn't feel up to a dress at the time, so made a skirt and a Myrna.  I wasn't going to do this year as I felt I had other projects lined up.
That was until Friday when I saw the announcement for this year.
And that got me thinking...
So I'm doing it this year.  I am going to make a Megan dress from Love at First Stitch


And knit the featured Sweater Vianne by Andi.
And these are my materials
The really good thing is - in the spirit of Love Your Library, Three pieces are from stash - the material, the yarn and the dress pattern I had already.  I had to buy the sweater pattern but that was discounted as it was part of the KAL.
I am still reading The Secret Life of Bees and in honour of that I made some cakes for my students this week as they leave me to do their exams!
Linking with NicoleGinny and snapdragon crafts.

  5. Love the cupcakes!! So cute. Good luck with the Out-fit-Along, it's always satisfying to do a stash dive and come up with most of the project!
