this is … a work in progress
This is a work in progress … except it’s kinda stalled. My stuff always stalls for the same reason: I have to make a decision about what to do next, and it requires more thinking than I can do in between nappy changes/toilet help; meals; screams/comforting; and stampedes of little ones off to their next adventure in the corridor/ bedroom/ kitchen.With knitting, I usually stall when I have to re-calculate the pattern because my row gauge is off or something. Here it’s because the bodice is looking like it will actually fit really well (yay!), so I’m trying to decide what to with the bottom half: it was going to have simple straight sides, but maybe I should go for something better fitted to match the top … I contemplated more gathers in the bottom, but I reckon that’d be too many gathers …
So I’ve gone off on another tangent, started thinking about toys in organic fabrics (seen some nice ones) … I don’t lack time to dream up ideas, just to complete them properly!!!
