Not how I remember stubbies!

I would absolutely put hem on a boy and definitely in a plain colour.

Mine were not made at all.

The latest stupid thing I did was with the Bistro dress. I fused the interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric and attached the zipper perfectly before I realised! Firtunately you cannot see it because I used a narrower strip. But it was still silly!

I made Trixie a gorgeous white Hopscotch nightie yesterday which will stay pristine as I used a too firmer knit and it won’t go over her head.
Le sigh.

The skirt I saw on Instagram was awesome. I’m sure you’ve applied for extensions on work before, right? 😉

I’d find all of that fascinating!

I saved the Martha Stewart pdf template to my phone’s Kindle app and am already thinking how I can adapt it to resemble my family – mostly, how I’ll make the man’s outfit look like a military uniform ;-).

I’ve read that for knitting Fair Isle it’s great to be able to knit both English and Continental — maybe lefties have advantages when it comes to certain kinds of knitting?

I’m also going to get some samples from https://www.myfabrics.co.uk/cotton-jersey-medium.html

I have no idea what it’s like, but it does at least tell me the fabric composition.
