Didn’t order yarn in time to start my next project before finishing my last project… and now, I’m project-less. 😞

Only the collar, weaving in the ends, and blocking to go!

Graduated from cast to cam boot today! Which mostly just means now I can knit at baseball practice, instead of my couch.

My post surgery lungs are not happy campers and I haven’t even had the energy to knit the past few days. I’m grateful for some meds that are helping and for this simple pattern to keep me occupied. Nearly done!

Is there anything better than joining the front and back and finally getting to knit in the round? 🌀

My second #wavefloattop! This one is made out of a tablecloth I found at the antique store last month. With the pre-finished edges it was a breeze to sew up (except one horrifying incident where some extra fabric got serged).

My finished #sadiesweater by Ozetta! I knew I was going to need a straightforward pattern for during my surgery recovery and this one was the perfect solution. Stockinette in the round is as mindless as it gets!

I can’t wait to wear this on cool summer nights.

My finished #wavefloattop by Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. 🌊

I started this project back in January and then took a longggg break when I accidentally sewed the gathers upside down. Those curves are disorienting!

This fabric is a a lightweight thrifted cotton. #sewskyearthmonthchallenge

Why is blocking the best part of knitting garments? 🪄

I had surgery this morning (everything went well!) and this little Bonnie Bear was the best distraction during all of the waiting around beforehand. 🩶

Two months ago I bought RTW jeans for the first time in years. Today I got to patch FIVE holes on the bottom. It’s maddening how poor the quality of clothes is now, and I’m grateful I can just make jeans next time instead of wasting my money.

#sewsky, I need your help! My coworkers nominated me for an award at work that will include attending a fancy awards ceremony. 🏆

Talk to me about semi-formal patterns!

My ideas are… #magnoliadress #elodiewrapdress #rebeljumpsuit Any others? Bonus points if I can wear it with a walking boot. 😆

Off topic, but I’m still not over witnessing Jade Carey score TWO perfect 10.0’s yesterday. It was electric! ⚡️
