You may remember this sweater from a while back. The sweather that I loved for many years that finally got too many holes to wear. Well, I have transformed it into this!
I felted it, embroidered it with spiderweb designs and added a lining and handles. The handles are just plastic tubing from Home Depot with some orange Lamb's Pride threaded through it. I love bags. 
That's armwarmer #2 in the bag. The lining is a fun comic book print. I sewed 2 pockets to the inside and I matched the fabric exactly! I was quite impressed with myself. You can barely see them in the picture. One pocket is the lady and the other is the beach scene.
I finished my corset pullover! It just needs a light blocking and then you'll get a modeled pic and all the details. 
It fits nicely and I'm really happy with it, which is exactly what I needed after the modern bustier disaster. Sorry I never posted a photo of that, by the way. Blogger freaked out on me and then my mom came to visit (so fun!!) and then I figured out how to fix it. Details to come.In honor of Project Spectrum, here is a beautiful rainbow of flowers. Pioneer Square was all decked out in flowers in honor of the Rose Festival last weekend.
Here's an ariel view and a picture of me and my hot, tired pup.
I love Portland. I also love knitting again, now that I am reminded that I can do something right! I hope your week is off to a great start, fabulous blog readers.

The second life for your well loved sweater is awesome - what a fun way to revitalize it! Love the tubing/yarn handles & the well matching lining/pockets.
Glad to see that you averted disaster on the corset pullover.
The flower pics are great - what lovely colors!
Awww, what a cutie! Dogs and knitting.
I love Portland too! There is always something to do.
Nice work and I love your puppy! I had one named axel that was a red nose quite some time ago.
Me too! Portland is really inspiring I think. I can't wait! (I'm moving there at the end of the month!)
