welcome to November!

I had to order a new 3qt saucepan, since I destroyed my prior one. The new one is perfectly sized to fit on the pot rack without banging into the rear (dashboard?) or whatever that sticky-uppy part is on the back of the range that holds the digital control panel and clock. This is actually a subtle but definite improvement over the old saucepan.

Started working on a pattern for undies, using a current pair as a sort of template. No there will not be photos. I bought a few yards of cotton lycra for $2/yd when Girl Charlee was closing down, specifically to experiment with. I am not really keen on bright stripes in red/purple/green/light green, but for trying out ideas, it doesn't need to be to my taste, and the fabric is really good quality. If/when I get results that fit well, I can always overdye in a dark indigo, say... (I also bought some red/black stripes, and some pastel pink and blue floral, those all three fabrics being the least offensive of what was available at the time I found out about the closure) This is all part of my plan of making as many of my own garments as possible.

today's gratitudes -
1. the new replacement saucepan I purchased arrived today. It fits perfectly in the pot rack over the stove
2. sister very kindly phoned me when my content-missing blog post accidentally went live!
3. I've started figuring out how to make the multiple layers of boxes for the Chinese Thread Book, at least I found an online tutorial I can follow pretty easily, which gives me a place to start, and information about the various relative proportions of the starting paper pieces for each layer....
