Hey Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting this week’s episode of JSDTV up. My husband and I have been in competition for the lighting and audio equipment. Every time he need them for a shoot, it takes me 1/2 hour to take everything down and pack it up…Then it takes me 45 minutes to set everything back up. In addition to the Ponte Knit Jean Pattern… I’m very excited about my new knitting adventure. …I met Lorilee Beltman at the Craftsy Instructor Summit… She had on an amazing knit skirt. …Look how cool it is.
I was so inspired that I signed up for her class on called “Continental Knitting”. … I’ve watched the first Lesson a couple of times, and I think I’m getting the hang of how to hold the knitting needles. Your left hand holds the yarn and your right hand formed the next stitch….opposite of how my grandmother taught me! I’m discovering that taking the time to try something new has actually invigorated my regular “thing”…. weird huh? If you want to check this class out, click on the photo below 
….Maybe it would be fun to start a little “closet knitter” club
I’ll keep you posted on my progress… my plan is to keep knitting until I can make a block of rows that look perfect. Then I’ll try the Purl Stitch! As you can see, I have a long way to go!
Now on to my regular “thing”. The Ponte Knit Jeans are almost done! I’ve gotten wonderful feedback from a few of my pattern testers. The set of fit muslins are all cut out and ready to sew together, and the instructions just need a revision based on what my pattern tester noticed. I’m hoping to launch them before Valentine’s Day <3… To get you guys ready, I want to show you how to prepare the front leg pattern piece to cut out a fit muslin. The trick is to use the pocket facing/bag to draw in the waistline and side seam where the front pocket opening is. Check out this week’s episode for all the details. If you have questions about sewing a fit muslin, please let me know!! and if anyone wants to start knitting with me… Please join me!!
