VAT Return done, and paid, so the heat is off for a little while, and I can concentrate on the important things.  So, here's the list:

Finish 2 toiles for the Sew Along, and choose fabric.  I've made progress with the stretch one, and the fit is now good, and techniques worked out.  Woven is cut out and darts done, that's it.

Some mending for Lilya, torn dress (done), sew bobble on her favourite scarf, elastic on ballet shoes.

Knitting, one onesie done (thanks Cat), apart from embellishment, one on the needles, the other in planning.

Peter Rabbits need to be finished for Easter.  So far, one has been dismantled due to the head being on the wrong way, halfway through knitting the second, third not even started....

Crochet.  New GChild will need a Nana-made blanket, so this needs to be addressed.

Whew, better get cracking!!

Eta: Need to start a Crochet thread......

Well, in an effort to be match ready for the sew along, I dug out this pattern.  I'd made my adjustments before Christmas, around about the time the mojo went missing.

I'm not a great fan of wovens, so I'm doing 2 toiles, one in a cotton, the other in a heavy-ish lycra.

Both are cut out, but the lycra is the one further on - Sunday was a no-sew as I had family round ( ).

Several points have already arisen from my alterations.

I made no allowance for negative ease for the lycra, so I found myself massive seams.  Then, the collar needed adjustment, and I found that a double collar would be far too heavy on this lycra, so I had to bodge it.

The length was also a problem for me, and I added 3".

I'm anticipating different set of problems with the woven, for a start, I managed to cut the back on the fold!! Derrrr!

Anyone else made this?  I know Fran made this last year I think.

I'm knitting while I wait for my mojo to return, but it feels a bit lonely here atm  :-\

Any more knitters here?
