Last week I actually did great on the knitting goals, if I say so myself (ah, the benefits of aiming low!). On the sewing, not so much (not at all, actually). I did (partly) clean up and organize the entry room though and I have now a table ready to sew on. So who knows what will happen next week?
Last week’s list:
Knitting:
✔ work on green cowl (actually finished it! – show & tell next week)
✔ maybe start a beret for my mother (started one, finished it – turns out to be wearable, but rather tight, so I started another one – sneak peek in pictures above)
Sewing:
X purse for daily use
X quilt (or maybe start small and make a table runner?)
X drawstring bags to use in my suitcase while traveling (I love the packing cubes like these that I see all over the internet and of course I could either order them or try to make them, but I think simple drawstring bags could help with the packing chaos too, so I’m trying that first).
This week’s list
Knitting:
– finish second beret
– knit some of these slippers (the pattern is no longer online, but I have it written down in my notebook) to keep my feet warm when we’re in Holland
– decide if I could make more of them as gifts (maybe better than hats?)
– use up the rest of the Christmas yarn (granny square to use as decoration on the table?)
Sewing:
The fact that I’m not sewing doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about the things I want to do. I keep adding to that list… Oh well, we’ll see.
– hem that plaid cotton I bought to use as a tablecloth
– make placemats (the ones we’re using are stained and not washable – not my smartest buy)
– purse for daily use
– quilt (or maybe start small and make a table runner?)
– drawstring bags to use in my suitcase while traveling (I love the packing cubes like these that I see all over the internet and of course I could either order them or try to make them, but I think simple drawstring bags could help with the packing chaos too, so I’m trying that first).
I’m hoping for a productive, creative weekend, though there’s also this other list of things I need to do…
Wishing you all a great one too!
