Don't go chasing...

...Waterfall knit cardigans.

..and the cat's butt again. 

Simplicity Sew Simple A1047

The knit I used was a bit too heavy for for this pattern, but it still looks pretty good, if a little stiff and extra volume-y. I might also go a size smaller. I think I made a large, and had to take it in a bit. It has a lot of material in the front! But has a nice angle to it. I would make it again. But I might try experimenting with sleeve length and make them longer. 

I got this pattern from Walmart for just a $1. 

Midweek Service Skirt

Pencil Skirt, view B, black knit. McCalls M6654

This skirt is super stretchy and comfortable, and easy to make. No pockets, but that's ok. The knit I used was medium or light weight, so it's getting a little cold out to wear this skirt much longer. I will probably wear it more in spring, summer, fall.


Tonight was our first of 3 Advent evening prayer services, using the Holden evening prayer service from Marty Haugen. Always a favorite. I decided not to go for an all-black look (that is usually reserved for Lent!), but I don't have a ton of blue. So black-and-white and grey it is.
