I had to diddle with six of the fingers. They were too wide at the top. I undid several rows and took out two ro four stitches on the way back up. They fit just the way I like them now. Maybe, I’ll get back to the hats tomorrow. But, I did get a sock club today, so maybe not.

Noro Gloves are Finished
June 9, 2009Tapatia’s in Seaford
June 7, 2009This place is always a good choice. The food is good. We always get full and sometimes have to take some home. They always bring tortilla chips and a white and red sauce. If you run out, they’ll bring more. The chips are usually warm, thin and crisp. The sauces must be freshly made as they are never exactly the same. The others always get #114, #117 and #131. I, on the other hand, have been going down the numbers. I usually skip over the steak dishes and ones that are very spicy. I haven’t hit a favorite yet. There are so many things that I really like. It took me about three years to go through all the numbers and I’ve never had a bad meal. I’m on my second run through.
Since I all ready had my embroidery foot on my machine, I decided to do some embroidery before removing it. Since I was using Laurel Burch fabric, I used a Laurel Burch cat. I felt it wold be wasted on the top of the hat so I put it on some leftover fabric and made a pocket. I finished the design stitches on the brims of both hats this afternoon and put names on the bias tape. The brims are pinned to the caps. Maybe I’ll finish them tomorrow.
Sunhats
June 5, 2009I got some sewing done today. I probably would have finished one of them, but I wanted to use a particular design on the brims that wasn’t on the machine I was using. I was bummed. Now I have to take the embroidery foot off the other machine which means I’ll have to move my sewing cabinet to find my screw driver that I dropped last week. Well, there’s always tomorrow.
The Squirrel is Gone
June 4, 2009I am so glad. Those things can be so destructive. At least, Zip took it down to the basement. Gus would have gone ballistic. He was acting crazy enough when Zip ran through.
I haven’t worked on the sunhats. The weather has been too nice for me to stay inside. It is supposed to be rainny for the next few days so Maybe I’ll get them done.
The Noro gloves are coming along. I’m above the thumb gusset. I amy have them finished by the end of the week.
Squirrel in the Basement
June 2, 2009Zip likes to chase squirrels. Today, he managed to one that was about half grown. The back door was open. In came Zip and ran down the stairs where he dropped it. And lost it. It’s still down there. We left a window open and we are hoping it will leave on its own. If not, we’ll have to get a trap. There are so many things that it could get into. I hate to think about it.
One glove is finished!
New Noro Gloves
June 1, 2009
I took this picture last night. I should have it finished this evening. I’m working on the thumb. I’ve started the thumb with blue, but I don’t know if I’ll keep it.
I’ve decided to make another sunhat for a friend. Normally, she doesn’t wear hats, but her doctor said she needs to keep her head covered. I bought this fabric with her in mind. Unfortunately, the only picture of her dog was right in the middle. Fortunately, I’ve got plenty of fabric.
