At least I hope so, because, honeys? I think I have Enough. More than Enough. Sure, I wear them--I'm wearing the red-and-green one (Yoolie #12) right now. But I think 15 is enough, and I have so many other stitching projects I cannot WAIT to tackle. When Zom asked if I'd shown them all, I had to go check, and it appears that, no, I have not. So here, in what I hope is near the order in which I actually made them (although, of course, I can't really remember exactly. Duh.) are The Yoolies:
One of my favorites.
Love the drape-y-ness of this one.
Another favorite, nice and heavy.
Haven't worn this one yet--it's lighter weight (70% silk)
Wearing it now with a red long-sleeved t and jeans.
Haven't worn any of these last three yet--just finished them yesterday and today.
So there they are. Right now, I think #15 is my favorite--but I haven't actually worn it yet. It's very heavy, and it's got beading on it:
I'm not sure about the neck, though--it may slip off my shoulders. These necks are problematic: I don't want them tight, as they were. I hate that. It's hard to get them over my head, and I always feel like I'm choking. On the other hand, I hate it when the neck is too big and won't stay in place. So, as my mother would say, "We'll see." Maybe having a t-shirt under it will help hold it in place.
OK--back to those wrist warmers. I'm stalling on these: I did one and hated it and had to cut off the part I stitched and then start over from scratch, so I'm all gritchy about it. Good thing I blogged it this morning (snort), or I'd toss them and go on to something else. . . .see how well I know myself? Blogging it is my stick.
Where's my carrot, though?

Okay favorites......the green one with the heart right in the middle..........the orange one with the different colored buttons and thread...... Love em Rice.....love wrist warmers too , can't wait to see what you come up with.
I'm mad about #5. Love the black, worn, soft sweatshirty appearance of it. However, each Yoolie (whereever did this name come from?) is a unique statement of color and charm. I hope you always have fun wearing them.
I love them..l want one. They are amazingxxx Happy Christmas from Londonxxlynda
I loved the "Yoolie" show. The new symbol on the last ones adds a great feature.
Excited to see the wrist warmers!
Thanks for showing them, I love them all but esp. the 2nd Yoolie, looks like planets on it.
Thanks--it's so much fun to hear which are your favorites. I wish you could each have them all--like a production line of them. But--hint, hint--it's so much better to make your own! I'm trying to start a Yoolie Movement: we'll wear them and take over the world. What will we do once we take over? Dress fabulously, of course!
I love the planets one too, but they all look great - your signature bow detail has turned our SO well! Very inspiring, I'm off to raid mt husbands wardrobe and see if theres anything I can make into a Julie Yule Yoolie!!
I like the motif on the last two.
To me it looks like letters. But it would, wouldn't it?
Giggle...
You have a Yoolie for every occasion I think. My favorite it the greenish one, pic thrid from the bottom. For some reason the weight/drape looks like it would be so comfortable.
No snow here thank the weather gods.

That was really exciting, to see them all in a row like that. Thanks. It was like a series art show.
My favourites:
I like no1, the orange one for its multi-layered appliqué and the way the hems are finished. The stitching really makes it cohesive as a piece.
Number 3 for similar appliqué reasons and the colours are happening.
No 4 for the cool patches and the lines of stitching on them. I like the blue on the black. And I feel the reference to those japanese patched thingies (what were they called?). I think it is brilliant how you only stitched the neckline and hem partly. The whole piece is like a reference to those japanese thingies. Brilliant.
No 7 purple one is my favourite for the colours and the buttons. That would be the one I would wear.
No 10, the pink one is also fab, but I couldn't see myself wearing a peace sign, teehee.
I could easily go on about each one, but I want to go to the studio now.
By the way, what is happening on the backs? Anything?
