Between puppies and finishing Polaris, I have a bit of catching up on other things.
After I finished Polaris, I did a tidy of my space, cleaned my machine, changed the needle, wound some bobbins, dusted. Now I'm ready to start something new. However, I was running out of my usual Dove Grey thread. It is the colour I use the most of.
I ordered some more Aurifil thread from Karen Neary. My thread arrived in two days, and you can see that Karen cares about her product.
Look at how pretty it comes wrapped.
It is so nice to see the care taken.
Some grey, fuchsia, and purple, now what will I do with that?
BTW, this isn't a paid product endorsement, I just love the way the packages come.
I finished my first weird sock.
As I suspected, it is the wrong shape for my foot.
See the wrinkles at the ankle, too much fabric for my foot. So I have frogged it. It was an interesting learning experiment, so the effort wasn't wasted. Back to the heel flap and gusset.
Daisy's favourite person went out without her this morning, for a whole hour. Here she is guarding his shoes and awaiting his return. An hour is a long time when you are little.
That hour probably dragged for poor little Daisy. The sock was an interesting experiment, as you say, but somehow I'm not surprised at the result. That's a lovely package from Karen!
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to recive a package wrapped with care. I am not surprised about the sock - but these things need to be tried. xx
ReplyDeleteI too am not surprised at the sock result. I wonder what sort of foot one would have to have, to even think up such a pattern! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI use Aurifil thread as well and I have 3 shades of grey, one light, one medium and one that is I want to say blue grey, lol. In Singapore Aurifil thread is expensive but it sews so well.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much for your kind comments, Kate. I really enjoy what I do, and a special thread deserves a little special treatment! I don't know what to say about the sock, but it might be a good thing you don't have a foot to fit it. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see how much attention to detail is being given to your thread. Beautiful colours.
