I've been knitting. If you can believe it, that 5" section of sleeve on the purple february lady sweater is 28 rows of gull lace pattern on three slippery metal double-pointed needles. It is taking forever. Each sleeve needs to be about 15", I think -- I haven't actually measured my arm yet because I'm still so far off. This sweater has taught me the meaning of painfully slow which sort of conflicts with Aries energy.
But I had a lot of fun stitching the teeny nine-patch, probably because it's been an escape from the sleeves! It's just a little scrap from some old jeans and threads from the nest.
Have you heard of The Documented Life Project? It's a project with weekly prompts to art journal in your daily/weekly/monthly calendar planner. I'm new to this kind of thing and my pages are mostly simple -- these are the sides of a page I added to the month of February. The heart art work was a download that I filled in with my own words and phrases and the other side is my own doodling with a pocket for memorabilia. Really fun and a person can start any time.
The Great British Sewing Bee is on -- here's the trailer. The second episode of season two is up at YouTube but I couldn't find the first one! If anyone comes across season two episode one, please let us know! Can't wait to watch it.
Have a great week, everyone!
love your little embroidered squares and your thread nest. i understand about slow knitting. that is why i usually have more than one thing going at a time...a slow knitting project and one where i don't have to think. thanks for saying about the British sewing bee. i can't find #1 either. it's up on the BBC channel but not available to us in the US.
ReplyDeleteOh look at your little doll rising out of the nest. A sweet image. Tiny squares are delightful.
ReplyDeleteI have Aries rising, firing up my rather stolid majority earth and air signs..an interesting dialogue at times...let's do it, no let's think about it!
