For one whole week, I've been putting off my blog posting because I wanted to finish the sweater. On Monday, I made a skirt. Should I blog? No, I'll wait for that sweater to be finished. By Wednesday, I've begun turning the heel on the Hedgerow Socks. Should I blog? No, I'll wait for that sweater. Today, I've been harvesting indigo and getting ready to dye yarn (Remember that lovely Bellingen yarn I won in the Vestuary contest?) - well, heck. I still can't find that button!
So - here it goes.
Skirt -
Crappy photo but a cute skirt from Sew What Skirts
. I love this book - it's very simple sewing but fun.
This one is called East meets West - I used a imported Japanese cotton for the main body and an all-american calico for the bottom portion.
Hedgerow Socks -
I forgot to take a photo but I got a complement on them at the Minnesota Knitters' Guild meeting!
Dyeing -
Stripping indigo leaves takes much, much longer than you would think. Tomorrow, I'm doing the actual dyeing using the instructions from here.
Sweater -
Finished but waiting for a button. Grumble, grumble, grumble . . .
Saturday Seven?
Three pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, man's denim shirt, a rug and a pair of hockey skates. And they are already out of there but its very hard to make rooms for skates in my laundry room. Grumble.
