How Long is a Piece of String?

Tzeitel had been working on a project for me, and unfortunately was running out of the colour requested,



so with a sample in hand we headed off to the shop

oh no

they did not have the colour we wanted, and there were two stores of the same name in the same shopping centre - whats with that?


so we went to the other shopping centre (mind you these two shopping centres are in the same town and within 500 metres of each other and both centres have the same name Supermarket, meyeah nup no explanation available)
I'll have to unpick the whole thing


well there was no luck there either, but it was clear that we needed to go back to the twin shops in the other centre and buy some other colours there, because they were like 3 times cheaper, and there were more options

oh yum

but I did come back with a little energy food to give us strength




well someone strength






The original project


We were trying to copy Tzeitel's cape with hood




but were short

What colours did you come back with?


Oh



Hmmm





cute Pictures of Albert the Cat, while you wait

The end result...

I decided to redo the original, just being a little more frugal with the stitches. I was able to get it two whole rows longer than my furry mauve one. But it will mean no hood.

A little black all the way round, and a line just off the shoulders, makes it look like it has a capelet



and it has holes for your hands just in case

a length of black ribbon

and what I did have left of the burgundy I trimmed a beret
