Hello, February! In knitalong news, today is the start of Black History Month and a BHM make-along — knitting and sewing, and open to everyone “no matter your race, gender, or where you live in the world,” but the challenge is to make something from an African American designer’s pattern. Use hashtag #bhmpatterndesigners and see @naturaldane for more details and suggestions. And we’ve got two weeks left of the #fringeandfriendssteekalong — review those details here.
— Also this month, QuiltCon! I’ve long wanted to attend, and with it coming to Nashville this month, I get to. Anyone else coming?
— On the Slow Fashion front, if you haven’t seen Roe of @brownkids’ In|vested series from the past month, click that link or go click the circle with that label beneath it in her saved stories, and then continue back through the subsequent weeks (marked Convo 1, Convo 2, etc) (photo above right)
— Thinking of them as small quilting projects might get me to love placemats and to attempt quilting
— If you can reupholster a chair seat, you can make a custom ironing board/surface — and vice versa (photo above left)
— I wasn’t there, but this was easily and rightfully the most photographed sweater at VKLive in NY last weekend
— Will someone make a catalog of my stash fabrics (and yarns) like this?
— And a giggle, especially for the nervous steekers out there
Have a great weekend, everyone. I’ve blocked my Sólbein yoke and will be putting it back on the needles and separating the body and sleeves! How about you?
