I realise the latest edition of #weekendSewingClub didn’t get as far as any actual #sewing, so here, for your amusement, is a random picture of an earlier project that I took purely for my own gratification. This is a mitred joint between the hem and front facing of a wrap skirt, since obscured by the lining, so nobody but me will ever see the thing again, but I like to know that it’s neat. #tailoring #maker

@ladylambs Hi Ana, and welcome! Love your mitts and love your kitty cat. Mastodon is a cool place in many ways - no advertising, no algorithms, no corporate overlords. Your experience here will be shaped by who you follow, and by the hashtags you use and follow. Here are a bunch of fiber arts ones, to get you going! 😊🧶😊

🧶🧶🧶 PomPoms Mitts, a quick easy knit with faux cables on top side. Just did thumb hole.

For nursing home pal Daphne. Everyone here has a story, and this is hers... Even though she's a Taekwondo (way of the foot) black belt, her husband took her by surprise, beat the shit out of her. Passed out on floor, he threw something hot on her (oil?), 3rd degree burns across her neck, shoulder, chest, breast. Heartbreaking.

🧶🧶🧶 Finished 1st sleeve on Mom's sweater, yay! Just one sleeve to go. Then sew in ends, fix a dropped stitch, wet block, mail to New Jersey.

Mom can try it on and I can lengthen or shorten either the body and/or the sleeves. We'll just have to mail it back and forth if necessary. Hopefully I nailed the measurements. It's extra long bc she wants tunic length.

🧶🧶🧶 New WIP!! Just started making the BonBon mitts now for my old roommate here at the nursing home. She wants them in white just like the pattern shows.

Cute pattern, and free! Using gifted yarn, not sure from who. No belly band, but feels like maybe a wool-synthetic blend...?

So happy to have something fresh to work on, while I also knit the final sleeve on Mom's sweater. Onward!
