I tried making the Fifi, a sewing pattern by Tilly and the Buttons. Unfortunately, the camisole turned out way too small — so small, I acutally had to CUT MYSELF OUT OF MY SEWING! However, not all is lost. I did learn to French seam!   REVIEW Unexpected Cables: Feminine Knitted Garments Featuring Modern Cable Knitting By Heather Zoppetti Interweave/F+W; $24.99 BLATHER I've always wanted to be able to speak German fluently. So lately, I've been trying to learn by immersing myself in the language. This week I've been enjoying the Creative.Mother.Thinking, a knitting podcast spoken entirely in German.
