Yup, it's my birthday today. I'm still 50 something. It will be a quiet day. Crafting in the morning. Lunch out with Hubby and Mom then tutoring in the afternoon and evening.
I saw this the other day and just had to post it!

Of course, right now I not crocheting or knitting. I am sewing seams though. The first sleeve is in! Woohoo! I finished it right after I took the picture.
I don't find this difficult to actually do, but I find it daunting just to start. I am really not sure why I feel this way because usually the anticipation is far worse than the doing.
This sleeve took just a few minutes to attach.
Joining Ginny's Yarn Along. What are you knitting/crocheting? What are you reading? Pop on over to her site to see what others are doing?

I just bought all the thread for Little House Needleworks' "Love".
I decided I needed a quick stitch project to work on right now.
I am planning on making it into a little ornament that I can hang on a cabinet doorknob.

I am still reading The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. I don't know why but I just haven't been taking the time to sit down and read.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteLovely knitting and lovely new LNS chart (:
Seaming is one thing I don't enjoy ... I try and do as much in the round as I can, even if it means using the dreaded dpns! The sweater is going to be beautiful! Happy birthday ... may your week be filled with fibery fun!

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about seaming or sewing handknits. I put it off for ages and then surprise myself when it's quick and even slightly enjoyable lol
