I’ve been knitting sporadically but not enough to get the Lisette sweater finished. I found that when my shoulder really hurt, knitting was uncomfortable, but machine sewing wasn’t too bad so I’ve been taking advantage of that lately. A couple of small projects I got done this week:

It was Jenn’s birthday and I remembered her saying she wanted an apron some time ago, so how cute is this Nipper colors apron? I had fun with this one. Now I need to make one for myself!

And back when Kennedy first came along, I bought some great Etsuko Furuya fabric at Purl. But I only bought a yard and when I got it home, it didn’t seem enough to really make something useful. So for months now, I’d just been throwing the cut fabric over the cage. I kid you not! This week I finally got over there again and bought another half yard, and pieced this together quickly. It’s 3 sided since the cage is against the wall and I made ties to make sure it didn’t slip off. I’m quite pleased with it, even if it does look a bit sloppy in the photo. (Note: the ibuprofen bottles in the background aren’t a usual display item. Damn shoulder.)

This week I get more quilt fabric to make a baby quilt, and a huge assortment of quilting thread. I’m going to turn my apartment into a sewing studio.
