shoes, nail polish, a spartan desk, and some spinning
This week has mostly been spent unpacking and starting to puzzle piece the apartment back together.
Some highlights: Shoes have taken over my closet, at least they left space for my polka doted hatbox. My, now, oh-so-spartan desk. And a crazy amount of nail polish that I don’t remember amassing.
I’ve done no knitting. But I did pull out some fiber and do a little spinning last night. That way there would be something fiber related in this post.
This is a beautiful camel colored 100% alpaca top, that I’m spinning into a 2ply lace weight. It was a gift and unfortunately I don’t know the company. But I’m loving working with it.
Here’s to more knitting next week.
Happy Wednesday!
a vase of flowers, and basket of zippers
Working away on The Self-Made Wardrobe. Day 17 was the first of many little black dresses.
A pile of yarn, became a pile of swatches, turned into a row of mounted swatches.
And more yarn came for more swatches.
The sweater has gained sleeves.
And a vase of flowers, and basket of zippers is gracing my coffee table.
