February's sock, Wendy's Lace and Cable Socks from her first sock book. The pretty purple Leyburn socks are in timeout, not because they've done anything wrong but because I made one of the silliest mistakes a knitter can make- ignoring my true gauge and going with "but I always knit X gauge on that size needle!" Go ahead- mock me. Someday I'll actually learn. So they're in timeout while I decide whether or not to keep knitting and give them to someone else (even though that Claudia handpaint yarn was a birthday gift to me to use for myself!) or to rip them completely out and restart in the correct gauge.
These are going much better, thank you, *and* they actually fit...
And my sewing desk looks like this:
which is quite atrocious, I know, but necessary. I'm trying to get a few more things in before the beginning of Me-Made-March next week , including two skirts that are oh so close to being complete and a pair of pants to re-cut. And all the tulle? Petticoats, my friends. Probably two, maybe three. I started out using the Sugardale tutorial and then it became something else. It's probably not "correct" but it's going to work and NOT be itchy (since I'm using cheap tulle instead of crinoline).
The petticoat in progress is for a 22-ish inch skirt, but I also need one for tea length and I'm considering a third for the two ankle length skirts I wear regularly, but still pondering how that will have to be constructed.
What are you working on this week?

I thought you'd never ask! :) I just finished 2 crib sheets and a blanket, I'm working on my new boppy cover and I have yet to figure out what to do with all the scraps. I wanted to make a patchwork giraffe, but I haven't figured out how to do that as of yet.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Laura. Are you almost ready for the baby sewing wise?
ReplyDeleteYes. The only "necessity" left is the boppy cover. After that, it's all just fun sewing!
