It's 9am and I have sewn 3 buttons on my latest knit of the
Last Minute Baby Vest in Cotton Tweed worsted,
and if you know my feelings about sewing on buttons you know this is last minute (ha, ha) and urgent. Yup. Tomorrow we leave to go to the
Kitchener-Waterloo Knitter's Fair in Kitchener, ON. It's shades of Christmas Eve around here, last minute sewing and knitting and wrapping up.
10:30am. I sewed in the ends on a new pair of
Ergonomic Mittens called
Striped Mitten (I have to work on garment naming, obviously) in
Northern Lights chunky, soaked the mittens and set them out to dry (I don't think all my crossing of fingers is going to help my knitting dry in this humidity). All the time drinking very cold coffee since I forgot about it while sewing buttons on, a task that seems to take my undivided attention so there is no bloodshed.
11:30am Then I edited new patterns:
1920's Stripes (hat) which match the Striped Mittens. Phew, can't believe I have this much done already. Best to get everything done before the temperature soars. Load patterns up on Ravelry. Done. Check.
Afternoon: Now I'm trying to finish that last knitted garment. Doesn't this bring back December 24th and not in a particularly good way? One more
Swirl Cowl in a new variegated Cottage Colours worsted wool. I really like watching the swirl cut across the colour but I'd enjoy it more if it went just a teensy weensy bit faster.
It might be a late night! If you're going to the K-W show come by and say Hi. We're having a SHOW SPECIAL. Come and check it out.

Saw the stripes hat on ravelry. It is on my list for tomorrow. Almost had a crisis. Broke my glasses last night and at first the optometrist said a part needed to be ordered. I gasped and told her about the knitters fair so she did a temoporary fix. Phew! I can drive.
ReplyDeleteI like the 1920s hat a lot. Not a mittens person but would make some fingerless ones to go with the hat!!! Have a good one at your fair. You'll have to post a report & some pics on the blog.
