Stitch Fix #18 - July 2017

You know I've been lazy in the craft/crochet department when you get nothing but Stitch Fix posts here. This has been the case for the last few months, but I'm ramping up on crafting now and new crafty posts will be here soon! In the meantime, back to the point of this post - my July Stitch Fix! I have somehow avoided the notorious cold that you usually find inside offices in the summer, so I actually left my stylist a request this month: please send short sleeve/sleeveless tops or cover ups that can go with some of the sleeveless dresses I own.

I looked around on Ravelry and didn't find a pattern I liked, so of course I decided it was a good idea to smash pieces from two patterns together.

Stitch Fix #16 - May 2017

I haven't been posting much because I haven't been crafting much. That means you get an overload of Stitch Fix posts. It's that time again, so here's my May fix. I'm sure that everyone is aware of my "surprise me fixes are the best" motto by now, so it's obvious that I asked for another this month. In order to avoid spoilers, let's just say Melissa's picks for me blew me away. Read on for details!
