So, in the 'I-have-too-many-projects-anyway-what's-one-more' category:

http://www.modcloth.com/shop/jackets/holland-1945-jacketI picked up a man's suit coat at the thrift store yesterday and with any luck at all I can modify it to look like that... Of course, it could just be a spectacular fail but it never hurts to try

First off...your background appears to be missing...just in case you didn't know. ;))

That jacket is lovely! I hope you get to make it and then you can share pictures and give ideas/hints... ;)

And, woah, very neat socks! Though rather complicated too, I imagine. ;))

Aww, too bad your first attempt at the beret didn't go so well. :( I hope the second goes splendidly! :)

No, I didn't know that. It's still showing up for me, even on a different browser than the one I usually use. XD

Yup, I've got pictures lined up of what it looked like before I attacked the suit coat with scissors. ;)

Not something I want to tackle without a pattern, that's for sure. ;))

I was very disappointed. And I had to close my eyes while ripping it out especially when I got back down to the part that had looked more or less like it was supposed to. :( But now we're back to a clean slate and a different plan of attack so...

Well, it's back again now. I'm not sure what happened; maybe it went on a short journey? ;))

Yay! :D

Nope, definitely not. ;))

Aww... :( *hugs* Have you started again? Or not yet?

[meltintall3]

An unexpected journey, you mean? ;)) (It's hosted remotely, so the only thing I can think of is that it got too many hits last month? But the timing seems wrong for that.)

I have. I now have all the ribbing done again (it goes much faster flat, actually) and am about to start the lace portion. ^_^

Hope the coat makeover works out well. :)

Those are definitely the best socks ever. Crazy difficult looking, though!

:D Thanks!
