Savage Coco recently made the Presto in a lightweight sweatshirt knit which was also quite nice!

How long it takes to drive there depends on traffic since you'd have to go over the Bay Bridge but maybe 30 or 40 minutes? I'll be in Paris after you. You are SO RIGHT that planning is half the fun!

I'm coming to Oakland from Oct 4-9th (to get a grandbaby "fix"). About how long would it take to drive to the zipper place? - I'm so envious of all the great places you have so close by!!<br />When do you leave for Paris? We are going to Dalmation coast from Oct 19-Nov. 2nd.

I also purchased a piece from Stone Mountain, a piece from Marcy Tilton, and a piece from Etsy, so this piece may be from EOS. (They are all pretty much identical except for color.)

I was also very close to my mother so she modeled that for me.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-59282631301441258262016-09-11T10:17:04.114-07:002016-09-11T10:17:04.114-07:00Thanks, Gail!

I agree with all of the preceding comments concerning your style, color choices, fabric choices. Do you recall if your teal knit was purchased from Emmaonesock? If yes, I have the same and may use your pattern choice to make it up. Teal...such a great cole for you. Even though we never want our children to experience any cruft in their lives, isn't it fulfilling when they turn to us for support?
