Ten Items I Would Like to Sew or Knit at Work Instead of Reading Intentions or A Thousand Plateaus.

1. My two swinging sixties dresses in bold geometric patterns—with pockets—for the Beatnik Bifurcating Britain with a Beaver tour. I know you purists are saying Beatniks just wear black. My twains are meeting. I'll have black-with-contrasts, and Beatniks are also supposed to be straight up and down and wear tight clothes—I'm no Audrey Hepburn so I'll hide the curves.
2. The leg warmers in B——'s borrowed knitting book. They look so cute; so unlike leg warmers in the eighties. Who am I kidding? But I could wear them over my hiking boots so that it looks like I have sixties knee high boots on from a distance, if you're in the distance and squinting a lot.
3. My cloud quilt—so boldly started and now in arrested development. Bloody thesis. Stimmeys all creativity except itself. It's like a tapeworm.
4. Red quilted lining for my Sherlock Holmes cloak. If I can't be a detective/sleuth/spy,at least I could look the part a little. Or, just look weird maybe.
5. Wild, funky exciting scarves for [Name cannot be disclosed due to pending copyright issues] Pty Ltd.
6. Wild, funky, unusual sleevies for [Name cannot be disclosed due to pending copyright issues] Pty Ltd.
7. Nightmare on Elm Street jumper in original orange and green, and in original, pre-burned condition. This is a favour for someone in case anyone who knows me is suddenly struggling with what they thought they actually did know about me—I would never wear orange and green together.
8. Refashioning op-shop clothing into things of unique beauty. I have such amazing ideas.i just wish they weren't in my sub-conscious so I could see what they are.
9. Vintage Vogue pattern I have had for fourteen years, for the tailed skirt with tassels.
10. An outfit or two a month like I pledged in my list of one hundred and one things to do before I die.
