Joggers and Carefree Cardigan


Baby Bear Joggers (elastic waist) and Mama Bear Joggers (modified yoga waist) from Patterns For Pirates in Loungeletics textured knit from JoAnn with cotton/Lycra bands. I made XXL but should have made XL. I took them apart and  trimmed down the hips, made the waistband smaller, and put buttonholes in the waistband for a drawstring. They are super comfy. This time I did the banded pocket hack which made the pocket opening sit nicely compared to topstitching it without a band.
Carefree Cardigan in So Sew English galaxy rayon/poly/spandex French Terry. This is a really drapey/soft French Terry. I made XXL at first (with CL bands) and took it completely apart because it was too big/pajama-like. I  cut the pieces down to XL and used the same fabric for the bands. I pieced the neckband together because I didn't have any more pieces that wide. I didnt do the flat felled seam for the neckband because I am lazy and my grey serger thread was pretty much the same color as the inside of the fabric. It is extremely comfortable. I wouldn't normally mix galaxy print and zebra-like stripes, but I wore this outfit to sit in the back of my SUV at the drive-in and I was super comfy.

Saying Goodbye

Yum Yum 6/18/93 - 10/31/08 I am very saddened to tell you that our beloved cat was euthanized yesterday. She was much sicker than we knew. I had her checked into the hospital to try to help her get over a respiratory infection and start eating again. Her vet discovered advanced intestinal cancer on an ultrasound. This is difficult for me because I'd be prepared to do anything to help her, but it was just too late. She had a really good life of 15 years with me, and I think she had a good death. She already had an IV line, so it was quick and peaceful. She was an extremely loving cat, and we miss her very much. It is difficult for us because Yum Yum's situation was so similar to that of Bryan's mom, who passed away in 2007. Unfortunately, we could not spare her from suffering as we did Yum Yum. Anyway, you can see more pictures of Yum Yum here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/buxtrosion/sets/72157608568334063/
