The Remainder : Silk Yarn sweater dress

It was a Friday morning. Instead of spending my usual morning idling at the computer, I rushed to cast off this sweater dress; I was that eager to put it on! It was only when I took a few steps back to photograph it that I realised: this dress is crazy psychedelic. Oops?

But you know what? I love it. I loved wearing it, in all its craziness and silky smoothness. It made all the time spent choosing the yarn, in Kathmandu, worth it.

I wish now to have bought more yarn, but alas, I only had a backpack.

In fact, I bought a 3rd skein of silk yarn as insurance -- I wanted to make a pullover out of it, but the third skein allowed me to make a dress. This dress hits above my knees, and the sleeves at my elbows. It's baggy,  and that means I can eat as much as I want.
