A back and half a front
Check it out. I have a back and half a left front of my Sunrise Circle Jacket. I know it’s so incredibly exciting you can hardly stand it. Like I mentioned, I am knitting it on size 3 needles. And this yarn is, indeed killing my hands. Along with the small needles size. I’m finding muscles in my hands I didn’t know existed. I like the way the fabric is knitting up. So it’s all good so far. As long as I rest my hands.
I decided to take a bit of a break from it and I cast on for another project this morning. Both Melissa and Jennifer have inspired me with thier beautiful mittens. I have decided to knit the Anemoi mittens (by Eunny Jang), too. I am using the blue skien of Socks that Rock. The one that I used for Pomatomus and an extra hank of undyed knitpicks sock yarn for the main color.
I bought some fabric and started on a skirt from my book “Sew what? Skirts!”
Very project spectrummy. I cut out the pattern and started to sew a button hole on my old sewing machine and got stuck. I seriously need a new sewing machine. I almost ruined my fabric trying to sew a button hole. sigh. So the skirt will be on hold while I shop around for inexpensive beginner sewing machines. And if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
I also finished another quilt block:
This one is called Double Wrench. this I did sew on the machine. My machine can at least handle straight lines.
