What was your inspiration?
I just had to have a fabulous wrap dress for fall and winter. Once I watched Meg's course online I decided to break out and give knits a try. I have a great stash (patterns 426 and fabric 18 large tubs) and decided to do up the wool jersey leopard print into a long-sleeve faux wrap dress for thre fall and winter months. I love the new Vogue Pattern 8825 and so the process began.
This dress is VERY EASY
I am a member of PatternReview.com and we all have noticed the CRAZY pictures and poises used for the new fall 2012 patterns. So we are to duplicate the crazy poise. Thus my wierd foot .....

What are you most proud of?
That I tackled knits and conquered. That I am now using my cover stitch machine!
I have a whole new world of knits open to me for 2013.........
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Watch the entire class online, Make notes.
Then when you are all done just jump in....really Meg really can take you through your garment and make it fun! Yes fun!
I have always used wovens and even do couture but knits and my cover stitch machine were my greatest fear.....not now I am on to my next knit project. Butterick 5318. Thanks Meg!
