Even better, I managed to do a reasonable amount on the sweater. I had to pull out another ball of yarn and now have only two balls remaining. The sweater looks pretty good and I only hope that I can get enough length out of these last feew balls to take it all the way home. I think so, but it is going to be close.
I'm not going to make my Stash Dash challenge of 5000 metres no matter what I do. I absolutely counted on getting three sweaters done plus a bunch of spinning as well as the shawl. I could have gotten very close but for this three weeks long journey into painful hands. There is a month left to go and now, my personal challenge is how far can I get, which is sort of what it is right from the beginning, isn't it?
Otherwise I am back to sewing today. I took a bit of a different path yessterday and decided to sew a couple skirts. I sewed a top for my Epic Adventure that I really loved and
always meant to make another piece to wear with it. I have plenty for a simple skirt, but not quite enough for pants which would be the most sensible thing. Still a skirt it is for a complete 'outfit' as mom would say. That is what I am aiming for today.
I have another piece that I am going to sew first. It is a plain bland piece of fabric that I do not care about at all. It was a really good deal from a end of the roll thing, so I bought it for stuff just like this: To test out a theory. The weight of this piece of fabric is very close to the pretty fabric so I hope to get a good idea of how the nice stuff will hang and perform. Simple gathers, here I come.
Anyway, there is going to be some knitting time too. Later this afternoon, no matter how far I have gotten in my skirt quest, I am going to stop the work to go knitting.
