The other day I started on a cross stitch project. I have not done cross stitch for a while (years?) and had not realized how tiny the fabric and the stitches are. I have to use a magnifying glass to do the work. Really! I actually bought a light/ magnifying glass combo so I can see what I am doing.
And knitting. I knitted a cute pumpkin hat for Galileo and cannot wait to see him in it.
Meanwhile, I have been working on a sweater for myself that I keep getting confused by. I have taken rows out and re-knitted them and still am not sure if I am doing it right. And I am an experienced knitter.
Then, in the spirit of the season I decided I would like to knit tiny pumpkins. I am about 15 rows in and I am still not sure if I've got it right. I think I am going to pull some of it out and switch to larger needled.
And I have some yarn and a pattern for a scarf I want to make for a friend. When will I get around to that project?
In May I bought a pattern and some fabric to make a dress for my daughter, Courtney. I cut it all out and carefully packed it in my suitcase and took it with me to Maine. I was planning to sew it while I was there. There's a perfectly good sewing machine in Austin's house- where I was house-sitting. Did I do anything with it? Nope. The fabric and pattern et all are now sitting in the basement here, on the table next to my sewing machine.
We have a wonderful, large basement with a great sewing/ crafting room. I have scrap-booking stuff sitting on a crafting table. Sewing machines. Lots of yarn. A TV. But I rarely ever even go down there. Why? I dunno.
Below is a picture of a part of the space that has my crafting things. Picture was taken when this house was still the model house. (Nick is the picture).
And now I have to get ready to go out. There's an activity at the library on how to use a serger (sewing machine. I have one and I love it, but maybe I will learn something new.
