It's Almost Time for Kick-Off!




Been getting in the mood for college football lately.  It's been a super long hot summer here in Atlanta. I could really savor a cool breeze, long sleeves, jeans (remember those?) and the building roar of the crowd when the first ball soars off the foot of the kicker and the game begins.  As a Tide fan, I couldn't help creating a little something that would look swell over a tank and black jeans. And no, my arms aren't that skinny.  It's just bad photography.


So, while I was dreaming, another sweater sprang to life.  From a really dowdy looking cardigan (anyone remember that word lately from Project Runway?!?), this one could also be worn over crimson, or red, or black, I guess, depending on your mood and team.   (The trim around the bolero came from cutting strips 3-stripe strips from the same material as the cuffs and zigzagging the edges to make them curl. (It was also fun to make them different on each side---anyone notice?)

Though we remain in the 90's here, the poplar leaves are already changing color---you can see them swirl on the side of the road in the afternoons. Can't help thinking that fall will be here soon....Maybe there is time for one more creation.....
