The dragon diorama on the bookshelf. My Phone only has potato graphics, so in the next days I'll try to take a picture with my DSLR.

Toboggans, sleds crafted at Ross Farm Museum
Visitors of all ages watched as the sleds were made at the Ross Farm Museum in New Ross, N.S. The CBC's Molly MacNaughton went to the farm to check it out.

The Parent Trap: Regulations for the Fictional Parent

In fiction, it is not at all uncommon to meet characters whose parents are lacking in some regard or another. Some parents are physically present but emotionally distant; some die for the sake of tragedy; some were never in the picture to begin with. In other instances, like Homer’s The Odyssey , the protagonist is the estranged parent. It seems that parents are so doomed to some form of exile that this trope extends even into children’s media (the first coming to mind here is C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia ).

Gotta love subversive cross-stitch.

My small act of rebellion, thanks to pattern maker, Junebug & Darlin out of Portland, Oregon.

I'm working on finally finishing my "dragon sleeping in piles of gold coins" diorama. It went throught three different stages and after years of rethinking and rebuilding it I can't wait to finally finish it, even though it is far from perfect.
When it's done, I'll try to take a better picture of it.

Week 5: Is it spring already?

Week 5: Is it spring already?

It got a lot warmer, compared to last week. The snow is nearly completely gone and the first spring flowers are growing steadily. And of course, this is the time of the year, when i´m terrible tired. I don´t know why, but i was sleeping a lot.

I still managed to finish the lining of my Jacket and to sew on the pockets. So far i really like it. The lining fabric was a bit of a shock moment, because it had some tiny moth holes on one side. I looked at my fabric stash, but couldn´t (thankfully) find any traces of moths. ( We laways put sacks full of lavender inside the cupboards.) We got the lining fabric from somebody years ago, so i think it had the holes from the beginning. But i will keep my eyes open. I really don´t have any use for moths.

I did knit a bit this week. The most attention got my “Elegant Suit” (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sewingforyourlife/elegant-suit).

The edges do roll in quite a lot, but so far i like the cables. Well, for me it is not really a cable, it´s a zig-zag pattern. But still very nice. A few rows more and i can decrease for the neckline shaping.

After that i knitted a few cm on my “Convertible scarf or cap” (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sewingforyourlife/convertible-scarf-or-cap).

The instruction uses a sport weight yarn on 3,5 mm DPN´s. ( Weirdly enough only 4 needles not 5.) I casted on 128 sts and knitted a few rows. Firstly, 128 sts on 3 main needles, i just couldn´t manage them. There were constantly stitches slipping down my needles, because there were too many. And secondly, i was worried that the cap would be too tight for me, because it looked tiny. ( And i have a small head.) So i changed to a 4mm circular needle and 8 more stitches. Why 8? I don´t know, just felt like it would be a good idea.

I need to knit for 36 inches, which are about 92 cm. It will be a rather lengthy project i guess. But at the moment it is the only one without anything complicated, yet.

The last project i was working on this week, were my socks i casted on last week. “Raffiniert” (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/sewingforyourlife/raffiniert).

I´m not in love with them. I used to really like socks with texture or colourwork, but nowadays i just want to knit vanilla socks. Simple, easy, fast to knit. I don´t know why, but once i start a sock with some texture (this socks has a pattern with purl and knit stitches), i´m losing interest really fast. I love looking at beautiful, intriguing sock patterns, but knitting them…?

Either i´m frogging “them” (“it”, it is still just one sock) or i continue knitting in stockinette. I don´t know yet.

That´s it for this week.

Thank you for reading, till next time.

Je crois que c'est fini : ma toute première broderie.
J'avais commencé ça il y a des années avec toutes les erreurs de débutant : tissu élastique et pelucheux, aucune idée de ma composition, freehand au feeling, je m'étais arrêtée avec juste le corps et la tête, aucune idée de comment aborder les pattes.
La chouette est bien trop ventrue et les serres sont approximatives mais hé c'est fait.

I didn't take a lot of pics, but here's a result of the #scanncut (w/ #inkscape) #galentines #craft project for the Mrs' upcoming party

(these are actually the reprints of the error ones)

I also took a break and printed some cube....tiles? It's a #3d version of the #math #puzzle pentominoes. The sloppiness here is 100% my poor gluing--the cut blanks were exquisite
