It's my birthday today and I am very excited and happy because I have ordered my first dressform in honor of above-mentioned birthday to be used for my knitting projects. I was inspired by Kristeen Griffin-Grimes's amazing book French Girl Knits, which focuses on beautiful seamless construction of graceful figure-flattering garments. With the dressform I will be able to get an idea of the drape and "flow" of the garment I am knitting on my body as I am actually knitting, so it won't be so much guesswork... well that is if this works out that way it's planned :)!
It will of course be very decorative. I might paint it or cover it in fabric- maybe toile!!! Ooooh..
Here's a picture of the one I bought:
I got a white one too, only mine is going to have black wood!!! Very exciting :) yay!!! ok
I also got my very first, very own, personal nobody else has ever used it or ever will... LAB COAT so happy :)! My life is now complete I have all the yarn for my current project, a great geoscience textbook, glasses, and one HECK of a labcoat. It even has a special tie in the back to make it figure-flattering! Gasp! Will probably blog more later since this is fun... hmm... au revoir
