I missed my normal WIP Wednesday post yesterday. My in-laws babysat so John and I walked to sushi and then to our neighborhood downtown to get a drink. We ended up on a rooftop patio of a restaurant and enjoyed how great how neighborhood is. Please note that the bar serves vodka tonics with huge straws, so it was weird to drink vodka through a smoothie straw. Also, my husband is not Amish, he just shaved his beard like that as a joke and keeps forgetting to shave. I’ve started calling him Mose in the hopes that he will shave.
I have not made much progress on my knitting this week, mostly because I can’t motivate myself to do much other than sew. My playground socks are creeping along, as I keep forgetting to throw them in my purse.
My TDF socks are moving along. We are several stages behind, so these should see some progress again soon. I should have gone up a needle size for these socks, the fabric is very dense. They will be comfortable, but may be too thick to wear in shoes.
I pulled my shawl out to get started on it again. It is slow going, but it feels good to be working on it again.
I am currently sewing a dress for Audrey. There are a lot of steps to this, and I’m not sure I’m up for the challenge, but I’m giving it a try.
I had to run to JoAnn because I forgot to buy bias tape or buy enough fabric to make my own. I ended up buying fabric for four more projects. I have a problem. Meanwhile, the kids love picking out fabric for shorts.
What are you working on this week?
Oh your night out sounds great! I can’t go into a fabric shop without coming home with stuff too!
I’m hoping to get some more afghan pattern repeats done

I highly recommend making your own bias tape, it sews much better than the store bought (for me anyway!) at least you are progressing on your knitting, mine is laying on the table looking lonely.

I meant to do that, but I didn’t buy enough fabric. It looks so much better when I make my own.

I have even resorted to making it from something that blends, I hate the bough ten kind that much!😆
