I Sew, I Knit.

When the sewing mojo tends to wander I pick up my knitting needles to create. Well this time I didn't, I used my arms instead. Yes, the craze that I thought I could stay away from, well I blame Michael's sale. Yes, they entice me with coupons, yes, the yarn was on sale, yes, they had other colors beside purple. So I caved and this is what I picked up. The Bernat colors are Aran and Claret and Issac Mizrahi Craft yarn is new to Micheal's yarn and boy, the colors are gorgeous. Really it was his yarn that "inspired" me to think about arm knitting. Then the sale sign for Bernat was 2 for $10.00 so that helped seal the deal. Here are their stats below. Bernat yarn is really soft.... This color is referred to as Columbus, Lot number 329. See, very pretty and soft. This runs $5.99 a skein, not sure if it was on sale but I brought it anyway. So here are the color all together. Love them!!. I started on this yesterday and will be finishing it up in about 20...

It seems like I'm not the only one losing coping with a wavering sewing mojo. I have been able to catch up on the sewing blogs I enjoy reading and it seems to be going around. I blame it on time constraints and well the lack of focus. I thought I was on a roll yesterday until I realize I didn't have any knit interfacing. Good thing I have a chance to go to both Joann's and Hancock Fabrics. I will have to get up early and would rather sleep in but that's ok,I'll make it work.  I also have started taking my brown pants apart. I will share the before and after pictures with you. They were from Simplicity 1810, they are elastic pants and they came out way to big! So I will re-cut  them out at my at my RTW size 14. I know my sewing machine will be waiting for my return. It was "sew" glad that we spent time together. At first it was in shock, giving me grief bunching up stitches but I had a talk with her and she will soon have a new friend to join her. ...
