Do I win a prize? Your kimono is very chic. Where do you find the time? I dove into fair isle knitting this weekend in the Stranded Colorwork Challenge and finished a lovely hat on a weekend trip. So, even though I don't sew I am crafting over here as well, and living through your sew-along vicariously! Hi, I just wanted the honor of being the 30th comment. Do I win a prize?

I'm not sure I could tackle that pattern, I have trouble deciphering Amy's instructions. I think I have a sewing disability. I thought Februarys thrme was embellishment? I love the kimomo.

Everything is gorgeous! I love the colors in the kimono. I still need to finish my January project. I've been working on a crocheted sweater for a friend's baby shower coming up soon but it's almost done! I have all of next Saturday free so that will likely be In Stitches Day for both Jan and part of Feb. Won't be in time for January voting but oh well! Kimono would be fun for Feb but I haven't looked at the pattern yet. I'm sure that 'easy' is a relative term!! Beautiful, beautiful. Everything is gorgeous! I love the colors in the kimono.

I raise my, nearly empty, martini glass in appreciation of your ever improving skills with the AB instructions. I must say, I had a heck of a time deciphering her lingo during last months adventure. However, I am quite obviously alone with my limited grasp of Amy Speak. The entries in the January Document Duvet/Cd Holder challenge obviously show much greater talent than I possess. However, I shall rise to the challenge, and kick it up a notch, (oops wrong metaphor). My skills with Big Bertha shall improve simply by virtue of being in the company of such talented seamstresses. Jolly good fun on your and Finnys’ part to include all in this little soiree. The mind reels at the possibilities before one. Though I must say I did believe that the arrival of your letter signaled the beginning of the February Stitch Along. Do give a holler if I have misread the signs. I was under the impression that your lovely garment signals that February shall henceforth be know as the month of the Kimono. I wait anxiously by Big Bertha, for confirmation or clarification of what the heck the February project shall be. Regards, Scratches head while trying to come up with a clever name, Oh well, I’ll work on it. Jan My dearest Donk and of course Finny too,
