I saw the term Hotumn on social media and thought that defined it. Our weather has been going up and down. Today it is 13C, while on the weekend it was 31C. However, it still looks like autumn.
The flowers are still doing their thing.
Meanwhile, I've been knitting, and frogging.
This baby sweater will never be finished, so I got real and turned it into yarn I can make hats and mitts from.
My September socks got finished, 4 days into October. Mudd helped with the photos.
I was helping a friend learn how to quilt on her machine, so we made Hemmingway style bags. These are our first ones (a pair of fat quarters makes 2 bags.)
It was a lot of fun to sew together.
I actually got a start on a new bag. I have the card pocket panel finished.
One should always check to make sure that a credit card actually fits in the pocket. I once sewed a bag together without checking and one side was just a tiny bit too small, and the cards didn't fit on one side. Lesson learned.
I made a quick project bag for a friend, and added a ball of yarn and a pattern for mittens. I thought she needed a project bag for waiting rooms and the like.
The epic clear out continues. It is amazing how many things you realize you just don't need. We took a car load of stuff to the church flea market. Hopefully it all sold and raised some money for the church.
It is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. No big excitement, no turkey, just a quiet weekend, with nothing that needs to be done. Hope you all have a peaceful weekend.
Love those autumn colours.....! Well done on the bags; the little sewing machine zipper pull is the cutest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn from that little sweater is gorgeous and those socks are going to brighten a winter day! The Hemingway bags are great and that is a really useful gift for your friend. Autumn colours are starting here but like you we still have plenty of flowers in the garden. And yes, wildly differing temperatures too. xx
ReplyDeleteIt has been hot and now we have frost. So many beautiful socks and creations to inspire all of us, thank you for sharing them with all of us.
ReplyDeleteYou've sewn some beautiful bags, and doing it together with a friend is twice as nice.
ReplyDeleteThe knitted socks need to be brought out; we'll have between 1 and 9 degrees Celsius until the weekend... which means the flowers will continue to bloom, if the frost hasn't arrived yet. The dahlias and roses look so beautiful in the garden.
Best wishes to you and have fun sewing and knitting.
