Yarnification

It turns out that no matter how much of a great idea it sounds like to just keep at the sewing project until it’s finished, 2:30 AM is really not the best time to be operating a sewing machine. If you can continue “sewing” for about 18 inches after the top thread breaks without noticing anything’s wrong, it’s really time to pack it in for the night.

In other news, I’m making Dawn’s felted memo bag. I got all the way to the point where it was time to start the chevron rows for the flap, decided it was way bigger than I’d meant it to be and that there was no way I’d be able to shrink it enough during felting for it to come out the size I’d like it, then frogged the whole thing and started over with a smaller hook. I’m about 20 rows in now and it seems to be coming out a better size.
