Repairs!

The snow is retreating and it was warm enough that the back door was open for a few hours yesterday afternoon.  Such is spring and it is good.  

I did knit on my cream and white Lusk Tee formost of the day.  It's moving along nicely.  I am at the point where I will do the last bit of increases and then will just knit for length.  I want it longer than normal because cotton.  It will shrink up some and I want it to be long enough to take that into account for wear.  My black tee from last year was not knit with extra length and is too short unless I wear it as a topper over a dress.  I do not want that to happen again. 

I have also been dreaming about my next summer top, which will be made with a yellow wool and cotton yarn.  I am debating between a sweatshirt style or something with lace details and I can't seem to decide.  I am waffling.  

I did do repairs yesterday.  I pulled out my yellow Cascadas Tee to repair the neck where the thread had broken.


It seems I was really efficient at some past point and it was already fixed.  Yeay me.

Then I pulled the yarn from the box of yarn and sorted out the cuff of my Green Elton .


And voila.  Repaired and wearable for the season.  I think that is it for garments needing repairs at the moment.  I am glad that job is done. I don't mind repairs.  It needs to happen but it is like sewing patching.  It's good when the pile is gone.

I dug out some socks to work on later today.



Nothing fancy but a good sock and a third.  There may yet be more than one pair of socks this year.  

That is it for today.  Time to get to work.
