Sweater Dress Follow-up #2

     So my neck has been a lot better as of the past few days.   I didn't take any Tylenol yesterday, and I realized the more I do during the day the more the pain goes away.  So since I am more up to working on my sweater dress I had a thought while wearing my Hubby's old sweatshirt.  It had a hole in the sleeve right next to the cuff that fit my thumb through perfectly.  So I was thinking that ever since I saw my ex boyfriend from middle school wear a shirt with the holes in the sleeves purposely for his thumbs to make finger-less glove sleeves, I had always wanted one like that.  The closest I ever got was the above the elbow gloves that , that (again) mysteriously disappeared  when I was 19.  So I was thinking that maybe this dress might look cute with sleeves like this.  Add a couple more inches onto the beginning ribbing of the sleeves, bind off so many stitches, then add the stitches back on the next row and viola! Thumb hole sleeves (I think that is what it's called)!   And when I don't want the sleeves over my hands, I can just fold the sleeve or push it up.  What do you guys think?

     Also I was thinking that since it's an off the shoulder sweater pattern we are using to use maybe a different color to add on faux tank top straps, because I dunno about you, but I am uncomfy without a bra on, and I don't own many strapless ones.  Oh just a note, unless you are really comfortable with your body and/or depending on where you plan to wear this, may I suggest a slip?  My Hubby pointed out when I was holding it up, to make sure it was the right dimensions, that it was a bit see through.  It could just be the color I'm working it in though.  Caron Simply Soft in Grey Heather.  But yeah, a slip might be a smart move with this one ;)

     Anyway, how is everyone doing in Blogger land?  Has anyone been able to stick to their resolutions if any were made?  I'm still having difficulty myself, but I am trying and that's what counts right?  Right?? Oh but as part of my resolutions, is it weird that when we get our tax return that I am most excited about getting stuff to organize with?  Making life easier on my family.  ^_^  Anyway,

Good luck in your Adventures in Crafting!
