It's been a really, really, really long time since I dusted off the sewing machine, went to Hancock's, bought a pattern, fabric, matching thread, and actually made something. All that spinning and knitting has caused some tendinitis in my left hand, and my chiropractor has strongly recommended laying off those activities. So I have to do SOMETHING creative.
I made some spa mitts with microwave heatable rice packs for a holiday gift. I'll post a pic of those after I give them to the friend for whom they are intended. This photo shows my latest effort, a very basic shawl thingie made of that fleece that comes in a zillions colors, sports team motifs, and licensed cartoon figures. As a Certified Fiber Snob, I like to say that I don't buy anything but natural fibers, so I am busted. Fleece it is.
I figure this little number will come in handy when I have to endure chilly offices. I may even make some heatable packs to go in the pockets.
