This weekend was trying to get caught up a bit after traveling. Especially since there is about a month before we travel to Sitka. It is where I wanted to go and I made it happen. Koda Bear and my parents are going to go with me so it should be interesting.
I finished mending one of my work sweaters that became a bumming around in sweater. I had a cashmere cardign that had gone to lace due to holes but I decided to take some of the yarn I made and make the patch. That was in Montana, in July, over the fourth of July. I just got it stitched on. My Dad would now say my elbow is sick again because it cannot be out. Stupid old jokes and puns. But I have a mended sweater to bum around in. Under my waterproof, it will work well in Sitka.
I also got the next quilt top pieced. I am so pleased. And I took the easy way out and put the back together. There was still some stitching involved but not so much piecing. I am looking forward to the quilting. Just the rhythm, the meditation.
I have been spinning a bit two, but pictures of my spinning wheel and the yarn are boring. I will take a picture of the sweater in progress soon. I am still making the yarn for it!
Just bits of my weekend. With much tea and books. A bit of gardening that messed up my hands again. The gloves I used this time were worn out so I got blisters. The next pair, a bit too small. I have not found a pair I like that fits recently. That is life.
