Studio Snapshots | Spring, Strings and Sewing Things

A behind the scenes peek at what's happening in our knitting and weaving studio.

In the garden

I know that winter is finally coming to a close when the daffodils begin to pop up in my flower beds. That sunny yellow always cheers me up, even on the grayest days.

On the loom (again)

I cut 16 rag rugs off the loom, hemmed their ends and gave them a final wash before they go to their new homes. Unfortunately, one had an irreparable floating warp thread at the selvedge. Since craftsmanship matters, I unwove then re-wove the rug.

Happy, squishy mail

I received the yarn for two upcoming patterns related to my Polarity Hat. What do you think about both top-down and toe up Polarity Socks? (Share your thoughts in the comments below.)

In my sewing box

After giving my sewing machine a good cleaning and oiling, I discovered these bits in my sewing box. Clearly some of them are presser feet. If you know what they're used for, please let me know in the comments below.
