Progress...

I got quite a lot of work done on the baguette on the weekend... I might even have finished it if I hadn't broken two needles.  I can't believe I didn't have any more spares!!!  I have a whole stash packed away in a box somewhere... in storage... but none with me! Anyway... here are some pics of my progress so far....

Lining - in place but no attached...

And the twisty scarf was well received (as expected) so unfortunately I didn't get to keep it. *grin*  I'll just have to make another one!

Can't talk now... sewing...

Hand-wind Husqvarna sewing machine that my brother and I found at a market - I love it!! 

It works but not the most efficient use of time... for serious sewing I stick with my Bernina

I'm digging out my sewing machine this morning and getting busy on the Baguette... I want to get in as much sewing as I can before I need to head to the airport to pick up my brother and his partner.  I will post pics of my progress on Monday.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Twisty scarf... finished...

Twisty scarf: 3 balls of Noro Silk Garden knitted on 5.00mm needles. It was slow to start with but I definitely got quicker... and yes I did buy the extra ball but after trying it on, and seeing the scarf displayed in the shop, I decided against using it - I think that this is a perfect length and if the new recipient doesn't like it then I'll gladly keep it and wear it myself.  *grin*  Of course whilst I was at the wool shop I found another gorgeous sample of this scarf knit in a really fine wool and love it too - and so I came away with 1 ball of that yarn as well (the sample said 1 ball so I figured I'd give it a try). 

My next project is the Baguette... all cut out and ready to sew... I'm just not sure if I'll get this done... (I'm heading out for dinner tonight, and was hoping to have it done before I pick my brother and his girlfriend up from the airport at lunchtime on Saturday)  Wishful thinking....
