#MeMadeMay Day 11.
A pretty great end to a pretty great weekend 💛
I posted this photo in my stories yesterday but decided it could live here too! Yesterday morning between breakfast and getting ready for 9 am toddler group, I ran upstairs to wind yarn for my #UniteSweater sleeves because I was so excited to start on them during nap time. The happy mess in the office/craft room really nicely characterizes how I’ve been feeling this week ... so fired up about making thing, both starting and finishing (!) and wanting to maximize the time I have to do it (but not in a not sustainable-for-me way) It’s felt really great to feel that spark! ✨
One of the perks of my job is sometimes getting to knit amazing designs before they’re released. One of the hard bits is not spamming pretty progress photos while I’m doing it 🤣 Especially when the design is as amazing as @janettebudge ‘s Variance Hat, May’s pattern for @jenacknitwear Confident Knitting! I finished this version in the Alternative Spring Kit colourway on the weekend and am in love. This photo is unblocked, unwoven, look I just finished it mode! Ends woven in this afternoon, blocking tonight, then you better believe I’ll be wearing this beauty til this May cold snap passes!
Hoping for a Sunday that includes plenty of this (I can dream, right?)
Jumping on the #memademay wagon for the first time this year. All me-made all May isn’t in reach for me, but I’m hoping to wear something I’ve made every day and use it as an opportunity to put together my makes in different ways and plan my newbie sewing efforts!
