Watching F1 took my blanket this far, though I really had hoped to take it to the marl. I found the racing too exciting this year. The changes they made to the car specs this year are a game changer and gosh darn it, I end up knitting to tightly and it makes my hands tire out before the race is done. Still, it is a good start.
And then I did this. This is the wee split in the fabric. Just the tiniest slice, though it is a bit frayed on the open cut part. There was a section above it in the black where you could see the line of the slice but no threads were cut.
I knew i wanted sunflowers or at least bright yellow ones, but what to do about the wide cut. That needed to be stabilised.
I did think about using a stabiliser fabric but ended up going with simple stitching. I was going to make a bunch of flowers coming out of a vase, and I may yet go add more flowers but I kind of like it as it is.
There was work done on a few other small things but not so you would notice. The job for today is going to be sewing again but this time flags of Ukraine. My daughter in law has asked me to make some for her car and her house. She gave me some cotton and I hope that will be strong enough to hold together. I guess the experiment with felled seams is on.
