Tuesday was a great Knitting Group meeting, with a new member
I just finished a good collection of mystery short stories by P D James. I didn't know she'd written any, only familiar with her novels
And the hat is almost complete. I just have to finish and attach the band and it's done. The international spy returned to model it.
Here's how it looks off. When the band is stitched -- I cut it on the bias to drape well -- and attached, the green binding won't show on top. It does show under the brim, quite nicely. The construction worked out pretty well.
While I was recycling I found this very nice airtight canister, which I cleaned up and briefly thought about keeping
Tuesday's Textiles and Tea featured a fiber artist specializing in braided work, but interested in -- shoes! And yard goods from which she creates clothing. She's one of the most inventive guests they've had in a long time.
Even after her discussion, I'm mystified about how her braided sculptures, a few inches each way, are constructed. Her clothing is chef's kiss perfectly made and fitted. She says you can get sneaker kits, which provide the sole, and you go from there. She learned to handmake leather shoes long ago, but prefers the leather and fiber combo you see here.
I think she's one of those people who can make anything!
Happy day, everyone. If we can't make everything, we can enjoy seeing other people doing it. All good.
