I’m happy to join Kat and the Unravelers today with some more progress on the @#$! dishtowel and an excuse for why it's taking so long.
I’m a creature of habit, and that’s pretty evident in my wardrobe. In summer, I wear short overalls with a T-shirt; in winter, it’s long overalls and a long-sleeve shirt. Overalls are comfortable, they have pockets, and I’m a big fan of both those features. I’ve accumulated quite a few pairs from Duluth Trading Co., often picking them up on sale during the off-season.
When I switched to my winter overalls this fall, I wondered why I had only two pairs in my drawers. A little digging turned up four more pairs I’d bought last winter, tucked away under John’s hunting clothes. Duluth offers different inseam lengths, but I still always have to hem mine. So that’s what I spent time doing this week: putting down my knitting needles and picking up a different kind of needle to hem overalls. I’m thrilled to have some new clothes in rotation, and even happier that I no longer have to do laundry every two or three days.
But I did manage to find some time for the dishtowel, too. I know you’re probably getting tired of seeing it, but I’m determined to have it finished before next Wednesday.
Jess crochets, so she understands how much time goes into handmade items. Still, I may have to refer her to these posts just in case. I'm not sure that a couple of dishtowels for Christmas says "We love you! Welcome to the family!"
What are you making this Wednesday in mid-November?
