LOOK What I Can Do and Latest Knit Top

Sometimes, I cannot BELIEVE how ignorant I am. 

Now, you know about "ignorance", don't you?

As our preacher always says, "Ignorance" is curable; "stupidity" is not.

So I am officially CURED of this one thing, at least, thanks to my friend, Glenda.  I really can't believe that my lightning fast brain didn't SEE the little movie icon right next to the picture icon at the top of the blog page I write this on every day.  And NOW, I am wondering what that other little icon next to it does -- the one that looks like a piece of paper torn in half.  It says "Insert Jump Break".  OHHHHHHHHHH!  I bet I know what it is.  I'm supposed to take a break and go jump on my trampoline!

 

And WHAT am I blabbering about here?  The fact that I can put a You Tube video right here -- right on this page -- without copying a link for you. 

NOTE:  I DELETED THE VIDEO HERE BECAUSE I SEEM TO HAVE SUDDENLY USED UP MY PICTURE QUOTA.  PERHAPS, THE VIDEO LINK SAVES ROOM.  I NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH.  PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS.

And other than that very valuable lesson today, I have been working on my FIRST cowl-neck top by using Sure-fit Designs Beyond Bodice Basics booklet.  Here is a picture of what I have SO FAR.  The sleeves are not in -- the hem is not in -- and I may, or may not, put the back waist darts in.  I am trying the new belt Santa gave me for Christmas to see if I should keep it or return it.  I think I like it.  I may make a denim dress to wear under it.

ANYWAY, here is the picture of what I have so far on the cowl-neck top.  Try to picture it with sleeves and minus the five inches turned up underneath at the hem.

GLENDA:  How do I get that fold between my formerly-a-lot-bigger boobs to go away???  When I try on cowl necks in the stores, this fold is always there, and I don't like it.  Would it go away if I removed that first bust dart transfer to center front and just did away with it?  I really like the rest of the cowl.  OR, do I need a BIGGER dart there?

That's it for today.  I need to cut out the sleeves for this and decide what dietary delight I am going to fix myself for dinner out of 3 thawed out chicken breasts. 

I MAY -- just MAY -- have a surprise for you tomorrow.  Don't hold your breath.  We'll see if it really happens.  I MAY get a visit from my great grandchild, Jourdyn.  I have only seen her for 3 hours of her little life, and that was at least 4 months ago.  I have formula, a bottle and diapers JIC!  Of course, the tiny newborn size diapers I have may not fit around her foot, never mind her bottom.

Hugs, Joy
