Therefore I don't think we can blame the cake for the Toothache of Doom that the poor manthing is suffering. I just hope the antibiotics kick in soon...
In other news, work is suffering a dose of the suckitude again and I have new glasses (which are making my ears hurt but them's the breaks.)
Anyway, I have been doing a few crafty things, not as much as I might like but nothing new there.
I managed to sew a project bag:
inspired by the ossim one by Nicsknots you can see in the background. Mine isn't lined though, I wanted to see if the principle worked without doing too much sewing ☺
I finished off some spinning:
BFL Mohair (50/50) I still have a bit left but tbh, I was getting bored and the mohair made my fingers hurt a bit. I've ended up with 388 yards of something approximating a 4-ply / fingering weight, I've not tested the WPI as my gauge has wandered off somewhere (probably with my portable hard drive.) This would make a really nice scarf or cowl, maybe a moebius.
I've made some progress on Steve's hat, but it doesn't really look much different than the last picure. Imagine some more ribbing.
I went fabric-hunting at the weekend, but the fabric shop I was looking for has either disappeared, is invisible or I'm an idiot. I settled on Fabricland, but only came out with some muslin. They mainly have godawful synthetic dancewear fabrics or heavily patterned stuff. They were also packed out with customers so I didn't really get chance to root around. However eBay has hopefully come to the rescue for now, and I think I shall have to go thrifting or travel further afield for alternative supplies. I'm going to probably try stitching up a T-tunic to start with in the muslin, working on the principle that if it sucks it will probably do for a nightie ☺ or dusters...
