I cleaned and tidied my sewing room yesterday and it was really nice to have that mostly done. I. Can. See. Floor! And tabletop. The tabletop is the most amazing part of it. There were boxes of mini things from November piled there as well as spare blankets and pillows that had been washed after the holidays. Plus all of the usual fabric I was working with when last I sewed. It was a bit of a nightmare. There were all sorts of things that didn't belong taking up floor space. There still is a bit so work will continue this week. That poor room has been neglected too long.
Today's play is going to be going through all the miniature tools and putting them into the lovely little tool box I got at Christmas.
It's the perfect size for mini tools and will be a real help keeping ordered. Is time to pull out the things I need to get a start on the garden. There are a few things I want to do for inside too. Like real houses, there are always things to do. They are never really complete.
It was a good knitting weekend too.
I did a good bit of knitting on socks.
One sock completed in January. And a start on a toe for February. I must say though that this is the very last time I do this sort of toe. It's just too fiddly for my shaking fingers. I love garter stitch square toes for the fit and comfort and now for the ease in making it too.
There was other knitting too. The socks seemed to be enough of a change that I charged ahead and kept working on the Blue sweater.
What you see is the front of a side split knitting up nicely.
I might set this sweater aside this week. I feel like something else today. It might be socks. It might be my Musselbourgh hat. It might be something new. Maybe. It might be that I will just wind yarn today. There is lots of that to do from the yarns for projects that I really want to do.
The more I think of it, the more that sounds like fun. Playing with yarn but not adding to the pile of WIPs on the go. Interesting.
