Has anyone figured out how to create an additional 6 to 8 hours in a day? If so, please comment below. Spring sprouts projects!
I jumped on board for my first sail of the season last Saturday.
There had been no time to choose a new project, so a sleeve to the Lily sweater on dpns came along. No needles were lost overboard!
My other knitting projects include commissioned Christmas stockings and corrections to the Level II of the Master Knitter Program. Now that I think about it, you could call theses two projects “treat or torture” respectively. In any case, these projects needed to stay on land.
Perhaps next week there will be time to fondle fiber and choose summer sailing projects.
As promised, here is the top to the “Signature Sunspots” quilt, which is waiting for me to reschedule my long arm quilting appointment. The back is a hodgepodge of fabrics… let me gently remind quilters to always square after every seam? I forgot this on one band. When the pieces get large, there’s a lot to remember. The signatures are on the vertical light blue bands.
As for garments, perhaps I can create them in my sleep, as I’ve heard happens in Hong Kong? My l’il gymnast has a big school dance in early June. She has requested a dress. We were in New York at the beginning of May and we stopped by Mood. She got to pet the dog made famous by Project Runway, and we chose some great fabric. Then there’s that skirt I drafted for the Drama Queen. She’ll be home this weekend and hopefully that will head out the door.
And to top it off, gold work embroidery haunts moments carved from the to do list. Oh, yes, more garments on my horizon…. my summer travels include a wedding in Beirut in July.
It’s all I can do to stop daydreaming about knitted sofa covers, punch needle trims, tassels I want to try and the possible.
So yes, anyone with ideas about how to create those extra hours…
