Long weekend

I seem to have lost my sewing and knitting mojo again:-(

Made a simple bookmark with and tried to stitch some ribbon with the words "New Zealand" on but it went wonky.  Perhaps I need to use the walking foot.  Trying to come up with cost effective little, light gifts for my daughter to take with her for your year in Japan.

Then opened a little scarf kit with wool and pattern.  Says use 3.5mm and 4.5mm knitting needles but in New Zealand we have 3.25mm and 3.75mm.  Which do I use?

Perhaps I will unpack a box of pottery and forget crafts for a bit.

  1. Use the needles that work best when you make a test swatch. :-)

  2. Get the 3.75mm and borrow some sand paper
