Cordelia Hat FO!

I finished my Cordelia Hat, the hat I designed for Year of Hats, along with 25 other knitters in the knit along I hosted at ! It was so fun and this hat is great! Scroll for the rainbow of beautiful Cordelias knit in May!

Me Made May every other day holy s**t day 30 we've almost done it, friends!

We've been to the beach twice this week because why not! Today I'm in one of my favorite dresses - a Jo, modified for an elastic waist gathered skirt! Earlier this week we had some swimming beach time and I was wearing my Reno Suit! I've made 3 of these and they're so good.

An FO for Me Made May every other day, day 28!

I knit up this May Be Lily Tank by in Katia Cotton Cashmere I got at .lx! Isn't it just the cutest?! I tightened up the gauge of the pattern to get the holes to be smaller (I'm VERY modest!), and followed the XL size to end up with a top with about 5" positive ease. My icord bind off at the top was a little loose so I ran some elastic thread through it and it worked great! I also made the straps thicker so they'd cover my bra straps a little more (AGAIN VERY MODEST!).

I'm not usually a white yarn knitter but I wanted a tank that would go with all my bottoms, including this yellow Brooks Skirt! Success!

Me Made May every other day, day 26! If Laura can do a PJ post than I'm also doing a PJ post!

Heat wave in Europe so I've got my Fran PJs on, modified for short sleeves and shorts! Just watered some of our new plants that are as unhappy with these temps as Shane is! I've got a cold glass if wine though and I'm ready to go relax for the evening 🙏

Me Made May every other day, day 24! Visited the botanical gardens this morning and did the American thing of putting a water bottle in my new backpack! I just finished this Cooper backpack - I modified it to have buckle closings instead of magnetic snaps. A little safer for travel ahead of my plan to use this backpack in Italy next month! And I love the fabric I used for the lining and pockets!

And I just love this Austin dress!

Included a few pics of the beautiful gardens, too!

Me Made May day 22 and I'm in one of my all time favorite dresses - my lemon dress! This dress is 10 years old! Swipe for pics of me wearing it through the years!

It's a v neck modified Alder Shirt dress, lined, made way before I was good enough to do either of those things but did them anyway!

Me Made May every other day, day 18! Another working all day day but threw on my Black Sheep Sweater Vest ahead of a new class launch tomorrow! You want one of these for sure - look how much Royal loves it! Full 'fit, including dog walking Levis, in elevator mirror selfie lol

Me Made May every other day, day 16!

Not doing a whole lot other than zooming and working today so kind of a boring one! Wearing my chicken shirt Romie Top from under my Comebackigan from . What's going on below the zoom camera is nobody's business!
