Alice Lemoine - Knitwear


For those who know me, you're aware that I like anything crafty. I crochet and knit and sew little things, and I love learning new stitches. Have been thinking I want to start a new knitting project so I've been looking around to see what I might should do. I have yarn enough for an afghan, but keep thinking that I want to make a sweater - something I think may not take quite as long as an afghan.

Not long ago, I fell in love with Katniss' victor sweater from Hunger Games Catching Fire movie. In looking around for who created it, I ran across Alice Lemoine's work. I hoped for a pattern that I could use to make one for myself vs having to figure out how to do it myself and found a free pattern for a version of it on yarnspirations, but it's doesn't have the character that the original does - although it gives me enough of an idea of what I may need supply wise and might give me an idea of what size to make each piece. Really love the tail in the back and the un-constructed feel of the piece - would love to have one myself. I imagine Alice used lots of slipped stitches and a big pair of needles - such beautiful work.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
