How's That "Where the Wild Things Are" Suit Coming Along?

I bet you're all just as curious to see the suit as everyone else and I have made quite a bit of progress since my last update (which was a shameful few months ago) I really should keep you more in the loop no?

Here is how its coming:

I know the photo isn't great and the suit looks like a big, shapeless blob, but I promise that its going to look awesome when its finished!  I have interspersing knitting on this massive project with smaller projects like this bolero (pattern coming soon) and a few hats, as well as a new and very exciting line of projects that will debut this fall! 

I know, fall is so far away, but I don't want to introduce anything too new quite yet because I will be going on a long trip this summer and don't want that to hinder the project or anything, so you'll all just have to wait ;)

Secret Outfit

Take this chic little outfit out for a day of fun errands to the craft store, the farmer's market and the library. The grey skirt is simple but different, a tucked in crisp white vintage top keeps it fresh, the little earrings add a soft touch and the shoes are a necessary pop of color, pair it with some turquoise bangles, your favorite bag and you're good to go!

Now, this outfit isn't too secretive obviously, since I'm sharing it with you, but I do have a surprise for my blog readers that the outfit hints toward, what do you think it is?

Latest Custom Order!

Ok ok, I have to tell you all about my latest custom order that came in last week, at first, I wasn't sure even the customer (a friend of mine) was serious! But, he's totally serious.

Guess what I get to make! Guess Guess Guess!!!

Ok, did you all guess? Cuz I'm gonna bet that none of you saw this coming. I get to make...

A full adult-sized Max suit! From Where the Wild Things Are. I am very excited about it :D

It will be an interesting trip, the customer is about 6 feet tall (I'm not...) and he wants it complete, like, footie-pajama style with a hood and ears and tail and everything! Are you not excited yet? So I ordered the yarn the other day, but its going to take a few weeks to get here because I had to order a lot (I mean, he's six feet tall...that requires a lot of yarn). I think I'm going to do it top down, kind of raglan styled.

I promise to keep you all up-to-date with the process!
