Too hot

[susandennis]

I made the shirt start to finish and I'm happy with it. But, I kind of wished I'd split it over two days and gone out for a walk this morning before the clouds disappeared. The sun is out strong now. I'm probably just kidding myself I often wish I had gone out for a walk. I don't get off my ass but do wish I had. Denial... it's where I live.

I am happy with the shirt.



The fabric cost more (and is of higher quality) than my usual fare so I wanted to use up as much as possible. All that trim drove me batty and I had some really issues with the side split trim but I finally won. And now it is carefully folded and added to the stack of Shirts It's Not Cold Enough To Wear Yet. (On the top of that stack is a shirt I don't even like but is there in case Zoey decides that's a good sleeping spot - which, is exactly what happens I discovered today. Arranging my closet to avoid cat hair is a never ending and not always successful endeavor.)

Next up, the baseball game and the hat I'm knitting. The yarn color is called lemon curd and it makes me want a scone.

Has it cooled down up there yet? I couldn't believe when I checked my weather app last week (or so) and Portland was still in the 90s.

That shirt looks great!

It's actually not that hot - 70 degrees but in the sun, hotter plus I hate the glare of the sun. I'm pretty sure the hot hot hot stuff is behind us now. Portland is usually more extreme both ways than us. They get hotter for longer but they also get snow when we don't.

And thanks!

You do quite a bit of sewing. Wish I was better at sewing. Nice shirt, too.

Ooh that's so pretty. I love the mix of gray & cool but subtle pattern, and the trim details. Worth the battiness <3
