Good Morning SSS crew, what are you all up to? (link to this week's round up)
I have had a very busy week. I'm an accountant, it's quarter close. I'm still working a full work day plus, just from home. There hasn't been as much crafting as usual because I've been working on the yard. We had some lovely days this week, and then an ice storm on Friday. Not QUITE as unseasonable as the year we had snow on the first of May, but enough that my poor hyacinths are toast, all limp and slimy.
I did get the first arm ribbing finished and bound off on the Rosemarkie Waistcoat, but don't have the ends on that side woven in yet.
And the Victoria Sampler piece is prepped for some drawn thread work.
But the main craft work of the week has been making some filter masks for my sister. She's allergic to something, maybe latex, in the masks that her company has provided. So I'm making her some of the cotton masks, using the Missouri Star tutorial and bias tape But those aren't hand work, so they only get a passing mention.
Hope everyone is staying safe at home.

too bad on an ice storm at this time of year. I guess we are all back to making face masks again - not a favorite for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh no... poor hyacinths! So sad when the weather destroys the beautiful things we need!
ReplyDeleteYour hand stitching projects are making great progress!
And I guess we are all making masks these days... I cannot even believe it still.
Hope we can soon get back to our regular projects!
Your sweater is so pretty, I am so impressed with knitters who made clothing items. I have mastered the art of knitting dishcloths. I spent 2 days making face masks for family members. Not my favorite thing to sew, so glad they're finished and distributed. How nice your sister has you to make masks for her. I'm sure she appreciates this. Hopefully the hyacinths will revive. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour sweater is lovely! I was making masks yesterday for myself and BIL in North Carolina. I am sure I will be doing more.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful knitting! (Was there steeking involved? I suspect steeking.)
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
There is indeed steeking! For a close up of the nitty gritty, see last week's roundup. Right now I'm cutting holes in everything it looks like LOL.
DeleteI am always amazed at the intricate work in drawn thread work. Your Victorian Sampler is lovely. Let's hope there are no more ice storms and the spring blooms will flourish in the sunshine.
