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!
