Lets see...first some personal tmi. I was all excited because I finally started a period early this week but then at the doctor's the ultrasound showed my lining not thining out as we had hoped to see. And despite awful cramps Wednesday and Thursday, the cramps went away and now the bleeding has lessened dramatically. I have another ultrasound on Monday, so we will see how things are progressing or not, as the case may be.
Funny story, So for some reason, after I left the doctor's on Thursday, I somehow got it in my brain that it was FRIDAY, so I went to an estate sale that was supposed to be on Friday morning, the lady running it said "bless your heart dear, its Thursday! and then Friday I decided not to leave the house in the morning.
Project-wise, I finished the first skirt from the pattern from earlier this week, I am very happy with it. I also finished the first shirt from the FBA, and it is very comferble and I think it fits well. The pants, well, I mostly finished them but they did not fit quite right, so I brought them over to Severin and she advised me how she thought it would be best to modify the pattern, so this morning I cut them out of sheet fabric, and I used the serger for most of the assembly, but then Hugo came over and we assembled his new belt pouch! I was ultra cool to spend a day working with him. Such a cool guy!
Oh! I also, between last evening and this morning finished the edges on three weaving projects.
1) a bunch of towels that I did from a twill sampler. The were the first project I did on my home loom after I learned how to warp it from Jenny S in class. They really feel beyond lovely now that they are washed. I am glad Mom said she would like them. Note, they are all different sized, mostly because I could not be arsed to care about precision in this project.
2) This is a really cool project that I did to learn how to do overshot in class. I was a little unhappy with it when I first brought it home, but once I washed it, the hand of the fabric became beyond lovely. I had planned it as a head scarf, and while it does work for that, it is a bit more bulky then what I normally wear. However, I think it would also make a lovely shawl.
3)These are two samplers I did for Huck (a weaving technique). They are essentially the same (same warp, same weft, same patterns, but one is on a 12 dent reed, and one is on a 10 dent reed. I took lots of close up pictures, and tonight I am washing them, because supposedly huck changes a bunch after you wash it. I will also have to do a sampler where I leave one unwashed, and one washed at some point.
And then I finished off today with a little work on the Janesville sweater take 2.
