Independence Day Knitting
We are attending a 4th of July party at our neighbors' home this afternoon. They always have tons of food themselves (new dishes appear every hour it seems), and it is potluck for the guests, they also have an amazing bar. We will be quite full by evening's end. In any case, I will be bringing Amira's little apricot dress which is almost finished!
I would have posted more photos, but the batteries died on our digital camera and I haven't had a chance to get to the store. I have finished the back and the front, and joined the shoulders. There now remains picking up the neck and armholes and knitting some garter st bands, sewing the side seams and one button on the back and threading the black ribbon through the eyelet holes. Then, it is on to making the bolero to go with it, in black to match the ribbon. I think it will make quite the striking ensemble for our little fashion plate.
Enjoy the holiday and the fireworks and the food! Happy Independence Day!
