I’m under the spell of something that cannot be explained in words. The friction with the past, present, and the future grinds on my heart like a mortar. I long for release. I long for absolution.

Buds is almost finished. I modified the top from original largely due to the yarn’s disposition. It stretches like mad. Bamboo is heavy and has wonderful drape, but plain stockinette stitches can’t hold it well. The yarn is by South West Trading and should appeal to any eco-fan. It is made entirely of bamboo, plus the price-point is outrageous. It only took two and a half skeins to make this top.

Thank you all for your patience. The Ivel update is finished and available in the Boutique. It took much longer than I wished it would, but alas life often takes us by surprise.

The changes I made address various size issues by taking a different approach to waistline decreases and it also fixes the issue of negative ease. The neckline now incorporates a more natural yoke finish as well as a prominent collar, which I hoped would balance the coat. Of course you can use the techniques in the former version, and even though it’s no longer on the site I’ll be happy to provide it to buyers of the update upon request.

I am working through the list of those who purchased Ivel already and I hope to email you the PDF file within the next day or so.

Well, that’s it for today. I am spent. In a good way, but spent nonetheless.
