I have been outside and am delighted to report it is actually Not Raining
Preparing some quite felty fibre for spindle spinning, I've got quite a lot of this (actual quantity unknown) and want to finish it now so I can ply and knit it! Intending to do a chain ply 3ply. #SpindleSpinning #FiberArts
Trying to cast on for a lace blanket, circular, to be knitted in the round. Starts with 8 stitches. Actually, starts with the needles falling out of the 8 stitches several times before I manage to move on... #Knitting
Spinning today, and of course I'm mostly wearing black and spinning very pale colours! #fiberarts #spindlespinning
Time to trace off a new style of a very favourite pattern... if I can figure out the order of the paper to stick it back together! #GarmentSewing #Sewing
Sewing Saturday :) time to finish this test dress I've been working of for actually about 6 weeks. I've made some changes to the fit and if it works there will be more of the same! #Sewing #GarmentSewing
It's very hot in London today so I'm wearing something I sewed as a test, which didn't quite work without alterations. So a safety pin has been employed! #Sewing #GarmentSewing
And because sometimes I change my mind about what I'm going to work on half way through, after cutting out my lovely purple test dress, I cut out a sunhat too... that is nearly finished, but not today! #Sewing #GarmentSewing #SlowSewing
Today for Sewing Saturday I am using some old sheeting to test some pattern adjustments I've made. In the hope that it's actually wearable, I'm putting a label in and using matching threads! #Sewing #GarmentSewing
Quick and dirty waistband resizing. Yes this does mean I wore this two days at eastercon with a set of safety pins performing this job. #Sewing #Cosplay
