a sweater neckline & granny squares
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
What I’m Working On…
: reworking the neckline of a sweater project – I started this sweater back when it was cold out, and went to work on the sleeves this weekend, only to realize I hated the neckline – so I ripped the old neck, and added a simple rolled stockinette edging. I still need to tighten up the row of blue stitches right underneath it, but so far I’m liking it much better!
: granny squares! – while I know how to crochet, I’ve never been a crocheter, and I had never crochet a granny square before. I figured now is as good a time as any to learn, and I have to say… they’re a lot of fun. (like I need another reason for browsing pinterest…)
A week of planning, rather than making…
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
What I’m Working On…
Crafting wise? – nada!
It’s just been one of those weeks where my crafting mojo has been MIA.
I’ve contemplated making lots of things, like…
: finally putting the buttons on my 2nd archer
: adding sleeves to my crazy colorful slipped stitch sweater
: picking up some white cotton lawn for a 3rd archer button up
: picking up some swishy fabrics for more skirts
: contemplating breaking my “separates = better” rule for a Sallie jumpsuit
I’m sure my crafting mojo will come back eventually – it always does – I just hope it comes back sooner rather than later, because I want new clothes…
a new skirt, an interview & a question
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
What I’m Working on…
: a new skirt! sometimes project just fall together beautifully – this project was one of those projects (…after I tried & miserably failed to make a hoodie out of this fabric…) This maxi skirt is hopefully one of the many that I’ll make & live in this summer.
: if you missed it on Friday, I was interviewed about knitting & knitwear design by Robin Hunter for her blog and you can read the interview here.
: much of this week spent working on the roughest of rough drafts of an ebook about color (understanding color theory, choosing color, combining colors, mixing colors, etc.) and so, I wanted to ask:
what trips you up or what sticking points do you run into, when you’re planning color combinations or working with color (in knitting or anywhere)?
I’d love to hear your answers! Leave a comment or contact me directly. Talk soon!
