FO Friday 137

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week, and are happy that the weekend is upon us once more. I just have a small project to share with you that I made last minute.

As I mentioned last week, my husband's work was having a Defiance launch party for the release of the video game/tv show he has been working on the last five years. I bought a new dress just for the occasion, but of course, as I always seem to do, I ordered it from Modcloth at the last moment possible. We ended up having to pay for faster shipping, as I kept debating on which dress to get, and also which size. That's always the dilemma with online clothes shopping, right? I've always had great success with Modcloth, but this was a little different as it was in UK sizes.

The great news was it fit perfect and came in the nick of time (it arrived at 11am on the day of the party!). The bad news was, it was supposed to have a little red belt with it, and the belt was no where to be found. I called customer service and they were very awesome, as usual, and promised to put the missing belt in the mail ASAP at no extra charge. Of course, that didn't help me that night, right? So, I turned to my crafts and figured out what to do...

At 3pm, only 3 hours before the start of the party and when we were meeting our friends for dinner beforehand, I came up with a plan. I took my leftover Hazel Knits Artisan Sock yarn in Ruby Love, held it double to make it a little thicker, grabbed the only double point needles I could find (I usually hate DPNS) which were a US 7 and went to town on a very long I-cord. In an hour and a half, I had a belt! I seriously was weaving in ends as we walked out our front door. I think it worked out PERFECT, and of course my husband had to mention to everyone we talked to that I made my belt right before we came to the party.

Here is the final product!

How's that for some quick thinking and craftiness?? Have a great weekend!
