Black and Blue - My Coppélia Sweater

It was a cold and very windy day when we took these pictures...as you can tell by my hair.

I bought this pattern with the intent of making sweater to wear while working out.  However, when I saw this black and blue sweater knit fabric, I knew I wanted to use this pattern.  

This pattern was a quick sew and I love the contrasting bands.  

I don't think I'll wear this to the gym because the fabric is a little dressy and not very good for absorbing sweat.  I suppose I'll have to make another version with more appropriate fabric for the gym.

Late Winter

We've had a few cold days here and there but not much rain or real winter weather until this last week.  I figured it was a good time to wear my new dark green sweater that I got at H&M.  I was drawn to this sweater because it's the color I love (at the moment) and because it has elbow patches.

Fail at remote hiding!
