Nov. 29th, 2024 10:31 amI took a shorter break on Tuesday so I could go home earlier, changed into comfy clothes, grabbed the sweater bag, and went off to blood donation. Which I couldn't do, bc my iron was too low. Stopped at a gas station on the way to my friends' place to discover that the one tire was completely flat, and WOW driving is a lot easier when it's not! Guess I better replace those soon (facepalm).
Dancing is now over, and my girl took second place. Enjoyed it all! Sweater was knitted and I was supposed to drop down a needle size or two, didn't have it with me, carried on anyway, maybe messed up the ribbing pattern bc my friends don't have lights that are suitable for sitting and watching TV with, so I was knitting in the dark. I'll check it tonight or tomorrow.
Earlier this week I made some lil project papers with lists of supplies on them, and then folded them up and put them in a lil plastic cup to pull from at will. It's mostly historical pieces, so I definitely want to add some modern things in as well, but for now it will do. This is to help me not lump around for three solid months, working on projects I WANT to work on can only be good! I tipped the cup when I was putting it away and the last paper I collected was "Seatoun skirt", of which I purposely bought striped fabric for pre-October. So earlier this week I patterned out the pocket shape I wanted for that, and it will be my first project.
Link: 1922 book on skirt making, which includes several pages of pockets (no measurements, a whole lot of "size desired") and the clearest directions I've seen about these stupid interior waistbands that no modern pattern has ever made sense for me. (Pg. 14)
Weekend is looking to be very chilly, and I have no plans to go anywhere besides an errand or two. Plans otherwise include nomming, cuddling with the cats, cross stitching, knitting, baking, napping, and reading. Subject to change without notice. I should play with the Cricut this weekend...
