Fashion crafting bee

It's Day 2 of the 4th Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week and I've worked hard on today's assignment:

Your task today is to either think of or research a project that embodies that house/animal. It could be a knitting or crochet pattern – either of the animal itself or something that makes you think of the qualities of that house. Alternatively it could be a type or colour of yarn, or a single button. Whatever you choose, decide upon a project and blog about how and why it relates to your house/creature. You do not have to make this project! 

But what if I've already made the project? If you follow my blog Crafting Fashion, you know that that's where I experiment with cutting and sewing the knit fabrics that I've created. For those machine knitters who are fully committed to fully fashioned garments, I know that it may be difficult to watch. I, too, was skeptical at first, but I'm having a grand time now!

Now getting back to today's assignment, at the time that I designed the fabric and constructed this, my first cut and sew sweater, I had no idea that I was styling a uniform fit for the House of Bee, (my declared house/style from yesterday's post). It's in bee colors! My yellow Providence sweater, paired with a pair of black jeans makes a stylish and practical ensemble for this worker bee.

100% Merino wool

And if I'm feeling extremely bee-like, I imagine a simple vest created with a plain jersey striped fabric -- solid black wool stripes, alternating with transparent nylon thread stripes. Worn over the above sweater, it would look like this. 

It might work. 4KCBWDAY2
