That reminds me...besides trying on dresses that were sooo 15 pounds ago, I also need to pull out the massive amount of girdles I've got. I've got the girdle shorts, the girdle bodysuit, the girdle stomach flatener, the girdle push-up bra...a girdle for everything, ha! Nothing says special occasion more than making yourself a sausage in spandex that is supposed to smooth you out. I digress...
I made the Cold Shoulder Capelet from the SnB Happy Hooker. This was an extremely fast project.
(Pi was excited tonight and insisted on being in the picture)
I used 2 strands of Caron Simply Soft in black and a K hook.
I think I might change the ties. Right now they are just chains attached to the edges of the capelet. I've got some black and silver thread from ages ago that would look good braided and weaved through the neck area. I don't want to pull out my whole stash on a weekday to search for it, so I'll check for it this weekend.
Want a new use for hangers? How about face...err...holders? I didn't even give her any sugar!

That caplet is gorgeous! It's perfect for a wedding. I like the shells around the bottom.
Love the picture of your daughter, too!
Oh so pretty! And I love your nutty little doppleganger there too!
What a great caplet! Another thing I will have to make out of that book! I'm so glad I got it! I must be a faze of the moon or something cause my youngest has gone crazy! Great Job!
Wow, I can't believe you whipped up that capelet so quickly! I love it! The pictures of Pi are so cute, too!
See, now we're in the same boat, with the girdles and spandex (with my sister's wedding coming up), LOL!
Wonderful pics, (you two look so alike) and the capelet is lovely!
Awww look at Pi getting her little joke on lol. Love the capelet it came out so pretty. I agree it does wonders at a wedding. Have fun at your parents wedding. :)
The Capelet is beautiful Christina! You do such great work.
BTW, I finally got Duma Key from the library. I think you'll like it. Do let me know when you get around to it, k?
CUTE! And after the wedding you can be a superhero!! Like, SuperHooker, and you could say stuff to bad guys like, "Be a-frayed, be very a-frayed!" Hahaha. I'm tired.
The capelet is lovely, but not as lovely as you two ladies!
That's great! I'm sure it will really add to the dress :) What a cutie-pie you've got for a daughter!
Your daughter is the cutest. I love your shawl.
Gorgeous! See? You can do wearables just fine!! Beautiful job on this and it looks lovely on you. And Pi could not be cuter!!
