I’ve had a spate of making screwups, which may account for the recent burst of activity in the garden (hell, when the crafting gods have left the building, you may as well throw it all in a heap and get on with some planting) but today I thought I’d get back to a project I’ve had on hold for a few weeks. I hadn’t screwed it up, I had all the stuff, and the kid is at childcare, so there was nothing that could possibly go wrong.
Unless of course you are of the opinion that a quilt backing should cover the entire back of the quilt, in which case, what I have here is another screw up.
Excuse me while I add that to the sock that needs ripping (the Bloke wants them to be the same length) and the top that I need to purchase another ball of expensive wool for (so that it will cover my torso without breathing in all day). Fortunately the extra quilt backing fabric and the wool come from the same shop, so fixing these measuring blunders could be relatively quick. Just cross your fingers for me that they haven’t sold out.

Oh I hate craft mess-ups. I get so thoroughly discouraged. Which is a bad thing when you scew up as often as me.

I have been diligently working my way through the screw-ups, clearly I have matured, I used to leave them much longer. The socks are finished and the extra supplies have been purchased, so now all I need is the kid-free time to come back.

That is the sort of thing happens to me when I try crafting. I’ve just learned the hard way about checking alignment before blithely stitching- it only would have taken me a minute to pin it and turn it inside out to chekc whereas unpicking and resewing took rather longer.
