Kimono

I'd never watched the film Silver Streak before tonight. It took that, an episode of The Professionals and The Simpsons to finish sewing up the Kimono. Memoirs of a Geisha may be my favourite novel, but I don't think I'm turning to Japanese knitting. I really think not. Still, it may go better with a different outfit - something other than my pyjamas. So it's just floor pics for now...



Blue top is mostly finished - it also needs sewing up, which will be tomorrow night's project I think. Can't wait to see what's on TV...

I do have a plan for another new project: I've always wanted to own one of these ever since I saw a version of it in a Darwin exhibition at a museum in Cambridge:

They're not particularly cheap to buy though. But I did think it might be fun to try and combine this:
with a simple mini skull pattern and some rectangular book-shaped things... ;)
