A Needle Was Involved
This has been another week that has been much busier than I expected during my glorious summer vacation. Putting everything off until summer apparently has consequences. Between getting the hail damage on Matt’s car fixed, a dentist appointment, a day-long benefits meeting for my new job, housework (ugh!), and shopping for supplies for my new project, very little knitting has been accomplished. But here is my new project that I started and finished.
For the love of yarn–that’s not knitting!
So glad you noticed, Observant Reader. I could not find a cover-up to match my new swimsuit (why does swimsuit shopping suck so much?). Since I was determined to have a cute little skirt to wear on our Florida vacation, I made one.
For someone who is used to making things by hand, I get such a rush from sewing. I’m not saying that I like sewing better than knitting–that’s crazy talk. But there is definitely a high to be had from sewing. It might be because of the danger factor. Sure, you can injure yourself knitting by sitting on a DPN or jabbing yourself in the lip with a cable needle. But sewing has machinery, electricity, and one really fast moving needle. And getting a finger stuck under that needle hurts worse than anything I’ve done to myself while knitting. Still, the high won’t last long, and this’ll be a knitting blog again soon.
