196 A wide variety of displacement activities

In this episode: The party dress; picking up threads; a project round up; and the big idea.

The High School Art Teacher Dress by Vogue (V1410)

And my own version, the Italy-wool party dress, made for Felix and Mark’s wedding.

(It’s difficult to photograph garments with all the visual noise in my studio. I’m working on a solution.)

I am back on the quest for perfectly fitting Peaky Blinders trousers.

I can highly recommend the following books by David Page Coffin:

Project Round Up

Elm socks are resting, all forlorn, because they are too tight. You can see what I mean about those extra two stitches at each side interupting the pattern. They need to be worked on 72 stitches. Vexing, but true.

Esther is coming along. The fit is good and I think I like it.

(Thanks, Alicia!)

Gilet Parodia – luscious lofty sweater…

…itty bitty project bag.

This is all that remains of the many, many Mirabelle Slippers I knit in January; and what they’re suppose to look like.

It was my issue. Nothing to do with the pattern. I still think they’re adorable.

You thought I was kidding about this, didn’t you?

Music in this episode:

  • Jim Fidler, Merrigan’s Reel
  • Bobby Saint, Feelin’ Good

If you like what you heard in this podcast, I hope you’ll consider becoming a Patron, or buying me a coffee.

about

I’m a serial maker of podcasts, and many things that are not podcasts. I love playing with yarn, fibre and cloth. I will never accept that furniture in my living room only goes two ways. Almost every night, I dream about houses.
