You subscribed to blogs and you can check all of your favorite blogs in one place, when you have time. I usually check when I'm nursing Hazel to sleep. When you've read a post, the post will disappear from your feed. I love it. Also, I know a lot of people like BlogLovin which is similar. :) I'm really honored you've chosen to follow along!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-66457675610089622762015-11-29T15:06:53.258-06:002015-11-29T15:06:53.258-06:00So pretty.

So good, Rachel:) I adore this ensemble, as it's the perfect combo of O & S along with Ottobre. Sorry about your sewing mishaps - I'm seriously impressed that you undid all your work.I think I may have been tempted to have thrown in the towel at that point. Well worth the effort though, as the result is so amazing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042868068336882455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-36125550739216157462015-11-19T21:36:09.220-06:002015-11-19T21:36:09.220-06:00I’m sorry, Masha!

I checked my Etsy and Fabric.com accounts and it was not from there. And it wasn’t from Hawthorne Threads either. I’m just not sure! It did not have a lot of recovery which I felt made it better suited for a sweater than, say, a tshirt. And it was pretty thick and ultra soft. I can’t really review it, either because I am still pretty new to knits and I have no idea how it will hold up. Sorry I can’t be of more help. :/ I do always try to link to my fabrics... as long as I remember where i bought them.

But I always add length to these patterns - both overall length and sleeve length, and several inches at that. I think Ottobre patterns run short, even based on the measurement guides. I’ve learned that one the hard way! Also, when they call for elastic on the sleeve hem, the elastic isn't tight enough and barely gathers the fabric at all. I decided it might be better for layering without the elastic anyway. :)rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-12968434539428533312015-11-19T13:27:05.736-06:002015-11-19T13:27:05.736-06:00I don't think you will be disappointed.

(Seriously, up there with mustard yellow!) I love Iris too, even her grumpy face is completely adorable, and the photo of her running away, hair streaming behind her (she has a great head of hair!), is perfect. These wild fairy children! <br /><br />That is a really great issue of Ottobre! I want to make so many items from it as well!! That cardigan is adorable - adding that to my list!

It was so obvious to me yet no one else noticed (I ended up redoing the whole piece after it was finished). <br />Ottobre are a perfect source of basic patterns. Ottobre 6/2013 is also one of my favorites.
