it's ass cold out there at night, so i knitted a headband to keep things warm up top when i'm powerwalking. i prefer a headband to a beanie, because it regulates the heat a little better.
i chose regal purple (jon!) for the niece's christmas present (felted slippers). someone on ravelry said they knitted a narrow by leaving out 2 stitches on the sole pieces so i followed that advice. i'm working on the finishing details now, including puffy paint for non-slip soles. the paint is taking forever to dry (it is going to dry, right?) but after that it gets some steam from an iron to puff it up.
although i don't have 4-5 hours of uninterrupted time for sewing right now, i've been dedicating 15 minutes here and there to taking the trousers apart with my seam ripper & redrawing the pattern pieces.
Zappos now carries the vintage Martens in oxblood, still made in England, so i finally replaced my old, old pair. here's to another 20 years of wearing these shoes!
when was the last time you had a piece of applesauce snack cake?
it's been awhile?
well, here you go-
