A project of the day. Working with the Model 1034D Brother Serger

Recently I bought an overlock model 1034D Brother. Fantastic machine!The first few days for some reason unknown to me, I was afraid to touch it,. And then suddenly sat down and had made this fabulous sweater / dress. I had this fabric at least for two years and could not find a use for it . If I’m not mistaking I bought it for $6 per yard ( 65% wool, 35% polyester) , now this fabric cost at least $25 per yard.I would appreciate if somebody will tell me where I can find “ brushed wool jersey’ or light “ wool knit “ for a cheaper price. Thank you!

On me! : ) Love how it fits, so comfortable and cozy!

Limited time offer Knitted short sleeve cropped sweater

Limited time offer. Regular prise- $135

This time I came up with an idea of making a short sleeve

sweater, but tried to stay away from ordinary cable knit

sweater.I created my own unique pattern. I called this

design FREE FALLING because the process of designing

can be compared only with an absolutely great

breathtaking feeling like free falling.I hope Tom Petty

doesn't mind I used the name of his song for my design.

The sweater knitted in a free form very comfortable

and stylish at the same time. I used my all time

favorite Acrylic Lamb wool blend yarn which is

perfect for winter-fall projects. When I finished

my design I realized that the sweater can be worn

both ways with buttons in front or on the back.

The second way looks really cool because the sweater

turns into intricate little knitted stylish tuxedo

I used very interesting pattern which creates some kind

of ruffleness ( :) ) on the bottom part. Which makes the

sweater look more soft and feminine. The front also

speaks about feminity of this piece. This sweater can be

worn with a nice blouse or a cute Te-shirt with some kind

of detail in front. The biggest dilemma for me was to choose

which buttons to use for this sweater. I bought about six

different tree types buttons on Etsy, There are all so beautiful.

Eventually after few trying I decided that the Spalted Oak

buttons are the best for my design because of their

smoothness, color and shape.

This is VitalTemptation original design you can't find it in

any knitting magazine , book or online shop unless it's

VitalTemptation shop. This item would be a wonderful gift

for yourself or for your close friend.This item hand knitted

with a great care and attention to details.
