I joined a group on Ravelry-the project bag swap group. I was paired with a couple of women. One, Qmama on Ravelry, has already delivered
my bag. I love project bags and this one
is adorable. I love it. Qmama did an excellent job in sewing the bag
and in choosing the fabric. Check out
the project bag:
I also received some stitch markers, a wash and a zippered
pouch. THANK YOU again to Qmama!
I am impressed with the zippered pouch. My sewing skills are rudimentary. I’ve made a few bags and quite a few skirts. Although the skirts were years ago, when I
was in high school and college, and my sister and I decided we could conquer
the A-line skirt pattern. We made a ton
of those skirts. We wore them for a
while too. I have no idea where any of
those skirts ended up. Probably
goodwill.
I'll post pictures of the bags that I made for my swap-ee
in a few weeks. I don’t want to ruin the
surprise if she happens upon my blog.
I’ve finished one of my Vegas socks. I should have paid more attention to the
knitters on Ravelry that said the pattern had issues. I did make sure to have enough stitches to
pick up along the heel flap. The heel
itself is too narrow-too narrow by at least 8 stitches.
It’s not an issue for wearing the socks
around the house-but inside shoes it would annoy and most likely cause
blisters. So if you try this pattern
out-adjust the heel accordingly. I find
the toe closure to work just perfectly.
I’m working on finishing the second sock and am working on
12 x 12 inch squares for my Twisted Stitchers meetup group square swap. Our goal is to swap a square with eleven
other members and then sew the squares together for a sampler blanket. Deadline is Christmas. I can’t wait to see what we can create. So far only one member has completed her
squares. I’ve got one down and 11 more
to go.
