and now on to sourcing buttons

finished top, quite happy with the outcome.  it hangs well although it looks a bit wonky in the photo because it has no buttons so it is pinned closed.don't know if i'll find the buttons i want: matte plastic squares.

the fabric is nice and crisp and the marriage of aizome and kakishibu zome yarns is a winner.

such pleasure of being in command of all the process from dye pot to final garment.i know; i'm missing spinning, but life's not getting longer.

the end of hesitation

remember this fabric? it has been shuffled around for more than a year waiting for my weight to stabilize so i could fit into its narrowness;waiting to find a pattern that also fit into its narrowness and did not waste too much of the precious fabric. waiting and hesitating. 

yesterday i finally put and end to hesitation 101 as i found i could fit into this pattern and it in turn could be cut with minimal waste.

i am going to bore myself doing french seams because the fabric is light and the seams need special attention. either french seams or binding and guess what?

talking about boring i received a requirement from the bank that i needed to complete a w-9 form :(

being from puerto rico i've never had a tax number bcse we don't pay the feds. so it seems i need to go to the consulate and get whatever or a pat on the head or who knows what the situation is now.

this week promises to be enveloped by domestic bs. geezzz.
