It’s been quiet on the blog front for the past few months. While I am not a frequent poster, letting the blog sit for about four months is not something I want to do all the time. The silence is primarily related to a sudden drop in crafting energy. Thankfully, the three-day weekend has helped me re-energize and focus on some knitting and sewing.
In my last post, I laid out my crafting intentions for the week prior to starting my new job. Here are some pictures of two out of the three projects I mentioned–
I purchased this Day of the Dead themed fabric at Jo-Ann’s. The print is colorful and fun. These pictures don’t do the fabric justice. I used the fun and easy to follow Bitter Betty tutorial at Sew Mama Sew.
I also finished my Super Simple Socks by Alison Sarnoff. I used two skeins of Koigu PPM that I purchased at Hill Country Weavers during a weekend trip to Austin. I’m not wearing them at the moment due to the unrelenting heat. They’ll be great at the end of the year when we have cooler temperatures.
I’ve got a lot of UFOs right now including three gifts. Stay tuned!
