I too loved 9305 when it came out in the spring but have not succumbed yet. Tho I may, now that I have seen the early fall offerings. Frumpsville, ruffles, and all those giant sleeves to drag thru the soup. Really, Vogue? in 2018?? Esp the one with ruffled eyelet trim around the big round collar. Time to delve into the PATTERN stash. Hope your health issues continue to improve, and may you soon find another kitty to love for 20 years!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045483550072346984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-65552176486673947842018-07-29T11:40:41.854-07:002018-07-29T11:40:41.854-07:00Hi Shams -- you look like you are having a lot of ...Hi Shams -- you look like you are having a lot of fun.

You know, she calls me every so often (when she can get her hands on the one land line shared by over 100 people, as internet and cell phones won't work where she is).
