Build Your Fall Wardrobe with the Owasso Tee Knitting Pattern

Despite the name having the word “tee” in it, the Owasso Tee from Blue Sky Fibers doesn’t really look like a summer project to me.

It’s a long line, oversized, boxy aran weight top worked in Shaker Rib that is just begging to be layered over your favorite long-sleeved shirts on those first cool days of autumn. I really feel like this might become a favorite lounging around the house top, worn over leggings with a long-sleeve tee underneath.

The pattern, designed by Bobby IntVeld, is offered in nine sizes up to a 72 inch chest measurement. While it’s meant to be worn with quite a lot of positive ease (it’s shown at 11 inches) you can pick a size closer to your actual body measurement if you want to make more of a vest than a roomy top.

Either way, you can get the pattern (and the yarn!) direct from Blue Sky Fibers.

I have a complicated relationship with my embroidery needles. Which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really take care of my needles at all. Even though I know I have embroidery needles to use for cross stitch and sewing, needles that are certainly still in their packages, I can rarely find them when I need them.

So when I saw this post from Crewel Ghoul about how to store your embroidery needles, it hit close to home for me.

It doesn’t really say anything I didn’t already know, but it is good advice that might also serve as a reminder for you to take better care of your needles when you cross stitch or do other hand-sewing projects so that you’ll be able to find your needles again when you need them.

It would help me a lot if I had a dedicated place to keep needles I’m not using, including the needles that are still in their packages from when I bought them. You’d think I would keep them with my embroidery floss but apparently you would be mistaken about that.

Another good idea for me is to have a place to put needles I’ve been using when I am done with them. Because goodness knows I’m not going to put them back in the package. (Which may actually be a good thing because then I know which one I’ve been using and which ones are fresh. Not that I replace my needles regularly, but still.) I own pincushions but I don’t really use them for anything, which is silly.

Check out the post at Crewel Ghoul to see all the options available for storing your embroidery needles properly. I’d love to hear what you do, especially if you have a better system than I do (which, honestly, would be any system at all).
