URG! What to do.





Do you remember these projects? Well I just got them back from the fiber cleaner as non-salvageable. They could do nothing to save them. The needle point kills me. The sweater is even worse. What to do? Toss them? Hold on to the smelly things to look at them every once and a while? I just don't know. Thoughts?

    don't save the sweater -- but if it is natural fiber, could you compost it and add it to your garden? That way it could contribute to something else you like!

    Hm... yeah. That's a tough one - kind of depressing. :(

    For me, I like to just make a clean sweep and I'd pitch them. You can always make another of the sweater. And you probably have the X-stitch pattern too?

    I would think that keeping them around would just remind you of the loss, so I would probably get rid of them and remember the good times.

    What a loss. I would hang on to the pictures of them but send them away.

Bowls With Boarders!

There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork   I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

F.O. Stupidly Simple Shawl

Image
I love putting FO in the subject line. Makes me feel like I've done something good! Project Details: Started on March 6th and finished on June 5th. Longer than one would think - but this was the car or doctor's office project. Not something I worked on all the time. I used 6 skeins of Bristol Yarn Gallery Buckingham Fingering alpaca yarn held together. Well I held two strands together (not all 6 at one time). This gave me the weight I wanted and it still drapes well I think. The pattern is really only 2 sentences long. I used size 7 needles and didn't change anything from the pattern. It was really a fun project!

When Crafting Goes Bad Part II

Image
Well I did it again. No I didn't cut my finger with the rotary blade - but I might as well have. In an attempt to get my big spinning wheel working I was testing out some fiber - when all of a sudden the whole flyer and bobbin came off and slammed into my big toes. I'm pretty sure it is broken or really badly bruised. I've been icing it and it hurts to walk. Again the hubby wonders why hobbies are so violent! Ps - I know I have ugly toes...get over it, they are feet!
