Good morning Hive makers and creators! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I am currently knitting away at my second leg warmer and will be able to show you the results soon.
I am also spending some time on my spinning wheel to make hopefully a three-ply yarn for socks. My goals these days are to finish projects and then spin for actual projects AND take notes so I can refer back and learn.
I like to make and create different things so I spend more time making and less time note taking. Maybe I would learn how to make less mistakes if I was more methodical in my learning. I suppose that is my ultimate goal. And isn’t the fun in the process of creating?
I always have a furry friend to help. Sometimes I am in this bedroom ironing for hours and I can look over to see a lovely kitty sleeping in the sun.

The biggest lesson I learned is that I need to learn how to use my serger sewing machine. It is quite intimidating and I just need to hunker down, spend some time with it, and learn.
The issue with using all the little squares is that the edges will fray over time. I am one of those people that when I make something I want it to last. Thus I hand finished all the edges myself after trying to zig zag stitch and it pulling too much on the fabric.
I think I will make a linen slip to go underneath with a bit of ruffle peaking out the bottom. We shall see.
Well, I need to go back to knitting. While it was warm yesterday, it will be feeling once again like winter in Kansas tonight and for the next week. God bless and be well!
