There has been some radio silence on here because a few things have been happening. Work is starting to pick back up again, but that was expected. What wasn't expected was that Bill suggest we do a couples cosplay for the anime convention this coming weekend. We talked a little about ideas and how I was going to have to do most of the work for both costumes.
I then did some research and found some pictures of the version of the costume I wanted to do for mine. I started working on it and everything was taking a lot longer than I thought it was going to be. I had planned on finishing the under-shirt and jacket the first week, the accessories the next week, and then anything for Bill in any 'between' times, weekends, and just his stuff on the last week. Well, the undershirt somehow took me five days to sew. The jacket only took about two and I made three samples for it before I found a pattern that both fit and I liked how it looked. Everything else has both been pushed back a few days and also some of the things have also taken longer than I thought they would. So some things got pushed back by a few days, and then a few more. I know I won't be able to get everything I wanted done, but I think I will be able to get the costume to a place where I am alright with wearing it and having people see it.
In knitting news, the blue sweater is almost done. All it needs now is a good soaking, some blocking and drying time, then finally, the two buttons. I have also started a blue hat for the Hat Not Hate project started by Lion Brand Yarns. I know that October 1st has come and gone, but Shira from Lion Brand says that the project spans the entire month.
