I thought the moon, especially when full, was supposed to be friends to people who are artistically inclined? Why, then, were L and I both unsuccessful in our projects at silversmithing class tonight?!?
It almost made me want to find a shot of tequila.
I always think I have no social life, but I’m out almost every night these days. Not a lot of time to craft. Though…
The large brown (with purple undertones) item is the front and back of the mock-cable Burtley sweater, completely off the needles. Now I need to start on the sleeves. But they’re of the pick up and knit variety so the sweater is on pause. I have other more delightful things taking my attention.
The sock toe is Kaylee by Monkey Toes. I found it on Ravelry which is my new favourite toy. I needed a project that I could travel with. The other option is Sahara, but it’s a non-plied silk that I don’t want to get shredded in my bag because I’m lugging it around everywhere. So socks it is, and this pattern is so cute…except it’s showing toe-cleavage, and that is something I loathe…but maybe I can handle it in a sock…
And that bit of teal is the back shoulder of Sahara. Isn’t it a beautiful piece of fabric?
I apologise for the quality of the photo, but I’m subject to the whim of being north-ish and not a lot of light gets into my East-facing apartment before 9 a.m.
As for the suit jacket, I have the pockets in the fronts and am onto the pad stitching on the lapel of the right front. Oh…hand stitching…I’ll show you the completed piece eventually.
