I have been trying to balance my knitting with some other crafty things that I like to do but are not as portable. I have a few items on m
y sewing table and a couple of things that I’m stitching up. Among the stitchey stuff is an angel whose pattern was stuffed in a box of cross stitch things. I haven’t cross-stitched anything in years. I liked the pattern and thought that I could make it for someone as a Christmas gift.
I have a couple of blouses in the works. The yellow one’s fabric came from a shopping trip in Germany. The pattern is from an old Burda magazine. The white embroidered silk was bought at a yard sale. The woman selling was from Thailand and had a great selection of silks. Again, I used and old Burda magazine for the pattern.
Knitting has been slow. I have too many projects that I have in various stages and the best thing would be to simply concentrate on one and finish it. My 6 sox Mosaic sock...
Even the house is a work in progress. My favorite drywall guy, Chuck scraped the popcorn off the garage ceiling. Tomorrow the walls receive a fresh coat of texture and then they’ll be ready for paint. Our shop is having a warehouse sale in early November and I will see about picking up some “oops” cabinets for storage. We have some lovely yellow pots and pans cabinets just screaming to live in my garage!
