Aug. 27th, 2017 10:36 amI was supposed to go to an RPG game on Friday, but the host had an unexpected situation pop up and it was cancelled. So I knitted instead, and finished my mitts. They still need to be finished ie: end weaving (boring!) but they could be wearable now if I don't mind strings hanging out. I really like them.
I realized yesterday that while I love knitting, I also feel like I've been using it to avoid sewing. Besides the petticoat, I have nothing really planned right now. I made a knitting bag yesterday (because starting a new project means needing a new project bag, amirite??) and then ran out to a picnic. But... I really want to sew things too (well the brainweasels say with nothing planned, it's too hard to start something. So that means: sew something!). So I poked at that brainweasel a bit last night and this morning.
Nicole wanted to do shopping "early" this morning but as its now nearly 11am, and she has a thing at 1pm on the other side of the city, I think unless we get that started in the next 12 minutes (which is how long it will take me to get to her) it's not gonna happen until evening. I could have gone to IKEA this morning. Oh well.

- Finish the petticoat.
- Figure out how to make basically harem pants that end at the knee and also fit smoothly through the hips.
- Pinner apron from Costume Close-Up with the leftover from the IKEA duvet cover.
- Start a francaise?? I was really inspired this morning, randomly. I think I will do the cotton one first. I think i know where the fabric is D:
- Work on blog posts. (It's kinda related...)
- Redingote.
- A new gown for the ball next month. I can wear the one I wore in March if I need to (esp if I put the petals on it) but I also caaaaaaaaaaaan't be seen in a repeat gown! (cough cough yeah right lol) I do want to do a different style of gown, I just need to pick out a fabric.
