Although we’re now back home there’s been no time to sew. After sorting everything out that we brought back I’ve had to do the Ocado order. Maybe tomorrow?

In the wardrobe / Re: Wardrobe switchover time?
« on: April 14, 2024, 14:48:50 PM »
I don’t really have clothes for different seasons. I used to wear short sleeved knit tops all year and a cardi when needed. I now wear long sleeves in winter so they might go away soon. I also change from cotton twill trousers to then viscose ones in summer or even culottes. Cardigans are same all year. And I don’t wear jumpers. Got into that habit at work as we were all taking them off and on all day depending on what we were doing.

I’ve already been sewing! 
Decided on jacket potatoes for dinner so no work for me. After sorting washing and general stuff I was in there by 10 this morning. I’m sure I’ve forgotten to do something. 
Coffee time now and then I’ll be back there in a while.

A Good Yarn / Re: AUTUMN SOCK KNIT ALONG. 2023 New
« on: April 03, 2024, 18:31:56 PM »
Well after what seems forever I have finally finished a pair of socks for DH. They aren’t great and they were a PITA to do. But they might keep DH's feet warm.
I used Winwickmum's site but found it awkward. I need specific instructions and found hers were a bit woolly (no pun intended) unless making the one size in her pattern.
I bought the kindle version of the book that @Deafoldbat recommended. So I will give another pattern a go sometime. But back to my comfort zone and sewing first I think.

I like both of those @sewmuchmore. Not quite what I was imagining. The resulting fabric looks quite substantial and stable.

@Helen M i also use very lightweight interfacing on the shoulders. But I have been known not to use anything on some garments and there really wasn’t a problem after it was overlocked.
