Craft Corner

Posted on Posted in design, hats, toolsTagged , , 16 Comments

Bob and I got rid of an old couch we don’t need anymore and turned a corner of the living room into my craft corner. I’ve already broken it in with some jeans hemming. I foresee the shelves on the right slowly being taken over by craft supplies.

Just in case you were wondering, this is my tassel maker set from Katrinkles. I don’t make tassels very often, but these are so adorable I had to have them. I also signed up for her stitch marker of the month club!

Thanks to everyone who suggested I should color in the Winter’s Fern chart. Since the gold is my favorite color of the three, I made it the main color.

You would think someone with a degree in art would spend more time coloring, drawing, and sketching. But that is never something I think to do. I will try to do more of it when I am planning projects.

I’m going to finish up my Tread Hats and then start my Jessica Jones Cowl. What are you working on?

Studio Sunday Round 2

Posted on Posted in knitting, sewingTagged , , 4 Comments

I succeeded in starting my Bramen Cowl, made some progress and learned the tuck stitch. Then realized I had twisted my stitches when I joined to knit in the round.

I decided to go with the Wonderland gradient mini skeins after all. I pulled it all out and will restart it.

I traced and cut my pajama pant sewing pattern, and cut out my fabric. I started zig zagging the seam allowance but then decided it makes the inside of the garment too rough. What to do? Then I remembered I have an industrial serger down the corridor I can use, and did!

Then the thread broke, as thread on sergers will do, and I didn’t know how to rethread it.

I’m going home to eat food and lay on the couch the rest of the day. I will work on Hitofude.

Also, I gave myself an assignment this week to type up my Ohio Star Bandandit Cowl pattern.
