It's a short-sleeved polka dot dress, another pattern from the Machiko Kayaki book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Craft-Simple-Style-Dress/dp/B0048ZE0TU">Simple Style Dress</a>. I love the scoopneck and how the neckline trim slightly puckers out. It's a simple, but unique detail. The dress is made from a slightly sheer cotton voile, so it would probably be best to wear a slip underneath. This will be a perfect dress for when the weather heats up again.<br /> <div class="p_embed p_image_embed"> <a href="http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-05-20/xejDhszGxinxxtodaaAzokhnfBuvmrhAofucDihkprukwFvbaICiJgeweDqE/polkadotdress01.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Polkadotdress01" height="400" src="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-05-20/xejDhszGxinxxtodaaAzokhnfBuvmrhAofucDihkprukwFvbaICiJgeweDqE/polkadotdress01.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="299" /></a> <a href="http://getfile4.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-05-20/AnjtcEnFakiqolxfswgiEyzCABkfoemvvIjzgFEuzIiDwfzhxbnbprbbnilI/polkadotdress02.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Polkadotdress02" height="300" src="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/temp-2012-05-20/AnjtcEnFakiqolxfswgiEyzCABkfoemvvIjzgFEuzIiDwfzhxbnbprbbnilI/polkadotdress02.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="400" /></a> <br /> <div class="p_see_full_gallery"> <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/sewing-polka-dot-dress">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> <div style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/sewing-polka-dot-dress">Action Hero</a> </div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1932028-6633938432432666862?l=blog.action-hero.net' alt='' /></div>http://blog.action-hero.net/2012/05/sewing-polka-dot-dress.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Melissa)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932028.post-5855554788170724614Sat, 19 May 2012 15:28:00 +00002012-05-20T18:41:36.022-07:00crochetwisecraftgranny square sampler<div class="posterous_autopost"> Having finished handknitting <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/actionhero/chaleur">my last garment</a>, I thought <a href="http://blairpeter.typepad.com/weblog/">Blair's</a> <a href="http://blairpeter.typepad.com/weblog/2012/05/granny-square-sampler-project-update.html">granny square sampler afghan</a> would be the perfect next project. She posted directions for the <a href="http://blairpeter.typepad.com/weblog/2012/05/granny-square-sampler-afghan-square-1.html">first square</a> yesterday and new directions will be posted each Friday. I don't do a lot of summer knitting, so working on different granny squares each week seems fun and manageable. I get to use up odd bits of stash yarn and I also get to practice my crocheting, which I haven't done in several years since this <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/actionhero/easy-ripple-afghan">project</a>. I gathered all my stash yarns and now have a nice selection of worsted weight yarns available to use. Here are my first three squares. I love the randomness of the color selection and being able to just select what suits my at the moment.

I had worked about three inches before I realized that I had been doing the herringbone stitch incorrecty, so I ripped out all my work and started again. I thought the provisional cast-on for the sleeves was sort of a pain, but the finished project looks great and makes the extra effort worthwhile. The sweater is more oversized than I thought it would be (lots of length so it's more like a tunic), but it’s cozy and warm. I love how it turned out and hope I have the chance to wear it before summer arrives!<br /> <div style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/finished-chaleur-poncho-popover">Action Hero</a> </div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1932028-5919404696675580132?l=blog.action-hero.net' alt='' /></div>http://blog.action-hero.net/2012/05/finished-chaleur-poncho-popover.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Melissa)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932028.post-6460647365850851637Tue, 01 May 2012 14:19:00 +00002012-05-01T22:38:43.919-07:00sweaterjulie hoovercascade eco cloudchaleurknitting<div class="posterous_autopost"> <div class="p_embed p_image_embed"> <a href="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/plsJIrgyqqmuqjavwlBwAFalmBoFqozqxmcfvnutogzIJynsmJuvudhuIrAz/p542.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="P542" height="400" src="http://getfile6.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/plsJIrgyqqmuqjavwlBwAFalmBoFqozqxmcfvnutogzIJynsmJuvudhuIrAz/p542.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="299" /></a> </div> I finished the Chaleur sweater last night.

I found these two books that are both from <a href="http://www.interweave.com/">Interweave Press</a>: <a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/Sewing/Books/Shape-Shape.html">Shape Shape</a> and <a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/Sewing/Books/Simple-Modern-Sewing.html">Simple Modern Sewing</a>. Both of these books were previously published four to five years ago in Japanese, but these are newly published in English by Interweave. (There was also <a href="http://www.interweavestore.com/Sewing/Books/I-Am-Cute-Dresses.html">this book</a>, which I almost bought sheerly for the title, but it didn't have enough patterns I liked.) I haven't seen the Japanese versions of these books, but these have very clear diagrams and sewing instructions for each of the projects. The patterns are included in the back of the books, all overlapped and printed on two large sheets of paper, which means you have to trace them. If you are familiar with Japanese pattern books, this is nothing new to you. However, it can be confusing for a beginning sewer (in one review, the book was returned because of the pattern tracing issue). I'm excited to look through these books!<br /> <div style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/new-japanese-pattern-books">Action Hero</a> </div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1932028-122315972052232870?l=blog.action-hero.net' alt='' /></div>http://blog.action-hero.net/2012/03/new-japanese-pattern-books.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Melissa)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932028.post-6077923353561822112Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:04:00 +00002012-03-25T08:07:31.185-07:00BedfordBrooklyn Tweedknitting<div class="posterous_autopost"> <div class="p_embed p_image_embed"> <a href="http://getfile1.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/cIpdjIjAfCBupDukbulJaabvgIyfexCADttjukffwrnpHAlHytBAxfosdqel/p519.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="P519" height="400" src="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/cIpdjIjAfCBupDukbulJaabvgIyfexCADttjukffwrnpHAlHytBAxfosdqel/p519.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="299" /></a> <br /> <a href="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/mEGAJHvfdffcIylqgFnCaqvnguBGIbhChFyqFIrumvxrpnqxtkspofjfstdc/p521.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="P521" height="400" src="http://getfile5.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/mEGAJHvfdffcIylqgFnCaqvnguBGIbhChFyqFIrumvxrpnqxtkspofjfstdc/p521.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="299" /></a> <br /> <a href="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/BAsfgsftxcuIqzruyqqDJoEDyBzyugwiFwbCcAvAhsDJBgAppxaiznJkjkCt/p523.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="P523" height="400" src="http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/BAsfgsftxcuIqzruyqqDJoEDyBzyugwiFwbCcAvAhsDJBgAppxaiznJkjkCt/p523.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="299" /></a> <br /> <br /> <div class="p_see_full_gallery"> <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/finished-knitting-bedford-sweater">See the full gallery on Posterous</a></div> </div> Here's my finished Bedford sweater.

I had been eyeing this dress for a while and just recently bought the pattern. I picked up the olive green and fuschia linens at a <a href="https://www.fabricdepot.com/">Fabric Depot</a> sale last weekend. I needed a break from my current knitting project and decided that I could probably finish this project this afternoon. The pattern is a PDF download, which means a lot of taping paper together before cutting out the pieces. I ended up making a size 6 based on the garment's finished measurements and how much ease I wanted and it ended up being a perfect fit. The directions were very clear and easy to follow.

I popped over to Bolt to browse at fabrics (it's next door to the yarn shop) and found this sheer silk print from Anna Sui. Not sure exactly what I will make, but I loved the print and had to get it. I'm thinking I'll sew up an easy and quick dolman-sleeved tunic.<br /> <div class="p_embed p_image_embed"> <br /> <a href="http://getfile3.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/hltxJddnHBpjHJrvvCFfmIdyJrEurwCABmCwjfEHIGAwlqviAEoClhqstCrr/media_httpdistilleryi_HkGgF.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Media_httpdistilleryi_hkggf" height="400" src="http://getfile2.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/hltxJddnHBpjHJrvvCFfmIdyJrEurwCABmCwjfEHIGAwlqviAEoClhqstCrr/media_httpdistilleryi_HkGgF.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div> <div style="font-size: 10px;"> &nbsp;<a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/anna-sui-silk-and-cascade-220-yarn">Action Hero</a> </div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1932028-7758661225728708847?l=blog.action-hero.net' alt='' /></div>http://blog.action-hero.net/2012/01/anna-sui-silk-and-cascade-220-yarn.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Melissa)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932028.post-4660698439134843076Thu, 12 Jan 2012 04:15:00 +00002012-01-11T21:05:58.280-08:00honestly wtfwoven chain braceletjewelry<div class="posterous_autopost"> <a href="http://instagr.am/p/gZI2L/"></a><br /> <div class="p_embed p_image_embed"> <a href="http://instagr.am/p/gZI2L/"> </a><a href="http://getfile7.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/iscDaluEDdCalvfCdHpsnEvGkfoqoyBbFlxuxwCovfmutxpdhzdBAmDFhcbG/media_httpdistilleryi_Ggavd.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"><img alt="Media_httpdistilleryi_ggavd" height="400" src="http://getfile8.posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/actionhero/iscDaluEDdCalvfCdHpsnEvGkfoqoyBbFlxuxwCovfmutxpdhzdBAmDFhcbG/media_httpdistilleryi_Ggavd.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="400" /></a> </div> <div style="font-size: 10px;"> <a href="http://posterous.com/">Posted via email</a> from <a href="http://actionhero.posterous.com/pink-and-grey-woven-chain-bracelet">Action Hero</a></div> <div style="font-size: 10px;"> <br /></div> <span style="font-size: small;">You can find the tutorial <a href="http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-woven-chain-bracelet/">here</a>.&nbsp;
