It’s off the needles…

May 25, 2025Diana Poirier

I’m done!!! 😁 Well, I still have to sew it together, but it’s off my needles!

I pinned it together so I could try it on, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I don’t have a name yet though. 🤔 Maybe I’ll come up with one this weekend!

It’s finally supposed to warm up, so I’m hoping to get in the pool for a swim!

Happy Sunday!
