finally i'm posting again...see...still alive!

So I haven't posted nearly enough, but I've been distracted. Sure I get on LJ everyday to catch up with all your posts, but I don't ever write my own. So, here I am procrastinating on homework in my office writing a short...hopefully short...entry ( Read more... )

I don't have anything useful to offer on the cloak issue, but I am very happy to hear about your life (though the pseudo-depression is a not so good).

Thanks! Yeah the pseudo-depression stuff comes and goes...I think it is partly a general feeling that I just want to be done with Kirksville and School. :) I'll survive. :)

Speaking of pseudo-depression.....I might stop by after I get out of class tonight around 8:30 if that is alright. Maybe we could play some DDR?

mir_fin January 29 2008, 20:38:59 UTC

sure, i'm not sure if i'll be back from my night class yet, but Harker did say she'd try to get us done by 8:30 each week instead of 9:20....long ass class
If I'm not here...stick around a little (10 mins or so) to see if I make it back...otherwise...:(

1.) So sorry to hear about the pseudo-depression. Hope it's just the winter doldrums (I get them every year), and that it goes with the spring ( ... )

The pattern I got was Simplicity #5794 although Meredith hasn't actually seen it yet (I keep forgetting to take it over when I go). The pattern says 5 7/8 for 60" but it will probably take less for some. Due to Hannah being short and all :). Correct me if I am wrong Meredith, but they are for outside picture taking and such (I would like to be at least semi warm). Oh and I like pattern C.

mir_fin January 30 2008, 17:22:20 UTC

yes they are for outside picture taking, though hopefully there won't be a lot of it. IT is more that I think they're pretty. :)

This is the SAME pattern I made mine out of (I used view B--same except for the hood). Good call! It's a very easy pattern, and I know it hangs well, too.

As far as fabrics, then, I would strongly suggest velveteen (and not just because it's the same thing I used). It's warm enough that you should be comfortable outside in a St. Louis January, but we could flat-line it under the lining proper for more warmth, if desired (Dharma Trading Co. has some good deals on undyed cloth of various weights and such, great for interlining--we could do flannel or wool, though mine is unlined and I think it's warm enough, but then, I'm usually wearing something warmer that a formal underneath!) Here's some suggestions:

Hancock Fabric has a good deal on velveteen, though they only have it in 6 colors, but that might still work ( ... )
