Might be time to dig these suckers out again.
I'm forcing myself to cull my wardrobe drastically, and that's made me think about the gaping holes in my closet. I will say, though, that I'm stoked to get back into my sewing room (as soon as I dig it out of the Christmas Cleaning Explosion that happened in there AKA where everything that I didn't know what to do with got tossed). Oh well, next year.ĪND I should probably stop babbling. I also made a bunch of crocheted snowflakes, but I didn't get them starched in time, and frankly, I forgot about them until just now. I can't take credit for it though, I totally copied was inspired by this brilliantly talented person. I love it! Entirely hand sewn using felt, some lace I had on-hand and a bit of woven fabric for the noel part, some embroidery thread, some ribbon and beads, and a button. (I have interesting friends.) And then there's the hat my brother asked me for about 2 weeks before Christmas when I had all the above (including the two pictured) to complete. And the fornicating deer hat a good friend requested that's been nearly done for months now but I'm too lazy to pull back 4 rows to start the top decreases sooner. Like the fornicating beaver's hat I promised to design for my boyfriend, nor the other NSFW knit he asked for. Let's not talk about what I didn't get done. Think my tension was a little tighter than normal. The recipient immediately put it on and wouldn't take it off all morning, so I assume he liked it, but it didn't quite go down far enough.
This toque turned out a little bit too short. The toque was more of a teal shade, like in this photo, but.deeper, if that makes sense. So fun to watch the lace pattern develop! Colour's off here though. Love the textures in this pattern, and it was a quick knit. Right-before-wrapping-them-up pictures don't do the hat justice. It's a pretty well-written and a beautiful pattern - my The latter is a new pattern and the first one the creator has I made The Natural Hat (which I made last year as well for a friend) and the Lace Vine Hat. Very kind of them to open their home for two people with no localįamily, and wanted to do something extra for them. (They also got most of the salted caramels too.) I thought it was The couple who hosted us for Christmas eve/morning. Owl hat for a coworker's daughter, I also finished off two toques for I'm pleased with what I got done for Christmas though. Which I should still be working on because I'm not actually done, but screw it. Well, I got as far as the armhole divide, and then everything stalled out for Christmas knitting. The colour in this pic is more true, but a little dark still. Despite the fact that Geologist don't do math. Stupid camera.įit check! It's not too bad - I'm worried about the sleeves and the width, but I need to trust my math. Again though, colour is off in this picture. Especially when you can't really do much else without epic coughing fits. It's a slow knit because of all the cables, but it's hard to put down once you get going.
I'm actually about an inch further down from this pic. I know a lot of you aren't big knitting fans, but you have to admit, you can make some gorgeous garments doing it! I've spent the majority of today doing a Project Runway Season 5 marathon on youtube and knitting away at my Reverb cardigan I started back in November. Well, to be fair, I was supposed to go, but THIS COUGH. My boyfriend has abandoned me for a hockey tourniment out of town. Although I do have one sewing project down at the bottom! It will involve a lot of knit talk, because that's all I've been doing lately. I'm going to apologize right off the bat, because this post is going to meander like the Red River. Regardless, I've been cooped up in the house, sunk miserably in the couch coughing my lungs out. Google has me convinced is either my imminent doom or possible bronchitis.
#SEWING PINS PLUS#
Thinking about getting a first or new set of pins and pincushions or magnetic holder? We have been in business over 50 years at Sewing Machines Plus and have the industry knowledge and experience to help in choosing the best sewing accessories for your needs.I have a hidious cold that Dr. A magnetic pin bowl is similarly useful because, aside from holding the pins, it also makes it easy to pick spilled pins up off the floor. These little cushions make their pins readily available for use (and storage) and easy to grab. But sewing straight pins, as helpful as they are, still need a place to sit when unused, and this is where a pincushion comes in handy. Sewing straight pins, as their name suggests, are used to baste fabric together to help a crafter sew straight. Pins and pincushions make sewing easier, giving you a few extra helping “hands” and a place to put them down when they’re on break.
