60s Weekend

I had a 60s weekend. I finished my dress and I couldn't be happier with it! Simplicity 4298, dress #2. There was no date on the pattern but I'm sure its from the early 60s. I kept at it while listening to the Doors on Pandora. Even though I mostly listen to rockabilly and punk I love the Doors.

Saturday night I watched Night of the Living Dead. I had to get some zombies in this weekend now that the Walking Dead season 2 is over.

Just finished this dress today and I'm thinking of wearing it to work tomorrow. We've been so spoiled with the weather this spring in Chicago. Hopefully it will continue to be warm enough so I can show it off.

Now its time to relax before the work week. Looks like Ray is on TV tonight. Guess I'll keep up with the 60s theme!

Bernat Style No. 690-66

Finally a picture I feel justifies one of my favorite sweaters. I knit this sweater last year and wear it frequently. Last night I wore this outfit to Reverend Horton Heat at the Metro. Great show!

Here is the picture from the original pattern. One down side of using black is that you can't see the lace detail at the top. It took me about 2 months to finish this sweater although it was not difficult. I've included the pattern below for any of you fellow knitters.
