So glad to watch your podcast again! I have missed it, and wondered how you were doing. Grieving is a long complicated process--it just takes a lot of time and hard work. And even when you think you've finished with it, it can come creeping up behind you and smack you between the shoulder blades again.

I love all the finished objects! I've actually been contemplating an everyday skirt for the fall out of a heavy weight gold linen. The ones you made look really nice! I really like Gertie's books--I have her first and second ones and they are so useful. I also find her sewing blocks are similar to my body type so I don't have to make a ton of adjustments to them. Her Portrait blouse is one of my particular favorite patterns.

I've just figured out magic loop and have been working some with fingering weight yarn, so I'm actually kind of inspired to try knitting socks--I love those fair isle ones you've made. I think I looked at that yarn on webs but they were out of the colorway I liked.

Good luck on the bridesmaid dress! The fabric is beautiful!!
