  • 189 I want to do it this way
    Mar 17 2023

    In this episode: Bias binding; finished objects; crafting chaos; plum blossoms; works in progress; and palette decisions.

    Lilly's retro-vibe pinnies are finished! Several knitsibs have expressed an interest in an adult-sized version. I'm still looking, but if you know of something similar, drop a comment at the website, please.

    The pattern is Bias Trimmed Apron from Little Things to Sew, by Oliver & S, in lightweight linen fabric with bias binding in designer fabrics purchased from this UK eBay seller.

    The Sock is not at a very interesting place, but there has been a bit of a progress in this WIP. The yarn I'm using is Coop Knits, Socks, Yeah! in the colour Labrodorite.

    Lastly, Gene Marshall is a rabbit hole. You have been warned.
