Hey! This is what I’ve been doing this week. Yesterday I made this necklace and earrings, I bought the green/yellow centre bead from The Bead Shop in London and finally got around to buying some small round beads and green tiger tail to go with them.
Last Sunday I had a play with my sewing machine and produced this:

I’m not sure what it’s going to be it’s a layer of sheer polyester over some scraps of gold/yellow/orange silks/polyester and then I intend to cut in the squares and triangles to show the underneath scraps through. I may turn it into a book cover or a small zipped purse or maybe even a needle case. But at the moment I know how people feel before they cut their steeks when they are knitting norwegian jumpers as I really don’t want to cut something that I spent time on creating. I keep telling myself if I don’t do it you will never see the lovely oranges/yellows underneath but so far I still haven’t cut it. Stupid huh?
I haven’t knitted as much as I’d like this week, work’s been too busy to knit at lunch and it’s quite difficult to knit while Coleman the cat is around as he insists on sitting on my lap or leaning on me. I did manage to wind a skein of Pure Silk into a ball while he was asleep one evening so I can continue with Juno this week. I’m trying to finish the baby pinafore before my friend’s baby grows too big for it, and it’s quite relaxing just knitting round and round and round…..
