marilyn is ready for her ruffles!

i'm done with the body of marilyn's nssc, just have to tack the hem up and weave in a few ends. by the way i tried the yarn joining trick from the knit fix post on wendy's blog and it is a beautiful trick. no ends to weave and the join is really not visible. even though i still have the sleeves to do i'm taking a side trip to finish the ruffles on the front. i don't crochet and i didn't really know how to do these little ruffles until i looked it up in a book but i think i've got the hang of it now and i can't wait to see what it looks like! the sleeves will have to wait! here's a bit of what i did last night and more will be done tonite while watching grey's anatomy! see more pics here. later gay
