I decided that it was time to get projects finished. This is Framed (pattern purchased on Ravelry) that I am knitting with Le Lambswool and Dream State.
You are supposed to pick up and knit the sleeves down but they looked awful so I took them out and knit the sleeves from the bottom. Now I need to sew them in. My sleeve stitches are live and I am grafting them to the body. It took some time to find a sewing needle at home. 😂. I need to get all my knitting accessories together. This was my first attempt. I started at the shoulder and worked down. Then I will do it from the other side. This way and fudging that needs to be done is at the underarm. Well I got to the bottom and calculated wrong so I had sleeve stitches left over. I took it out and started again. Something told me that I should start with a new piece of yarn but I didn’t. I started again and got the last stitch grafted when my yarn broke. 🤬. There were many bad words said. The scissors were sitting beside me and I almost took them to the sweater. But I didn’t. I calmly pulled the grafting back out and put the stitches back on the needle. Then the sweater went away and I’ll look at him in a few days. I have a ball of superwash wool that won’t break for the next attempt.
While I was digging through projects in my sewing room I found another almost finished Traveler Cowl. This is Dyed in the Wool in the colour Dark Side.
Mr. UPS and Mr. FedEx visited this morning. I have a lot of yarn and needles to put away. I tried getting the boxes open but we had a busy day. Thanks to all who visited. I’ll try and get here early in the morning to get boxes opened before customers arrive.
What arrived
- Malabrigo Rios, Rasta and Washted
- Addi needles
- Emma’s
I’m early today because I need to visit my chiropractor after work. My appointment was for 10:30 this morning (the same time every week) and I totally forgot to go. Then I’m off to the grocery store so that we can make pizza for dinner.
