189 I want to do it this way

The level of craft chaos was high this week, but Lilly’s retro-vibe pinnies are finished! Pattern is Bias Trimmed Apron from Little Things to Sew by Oliver & S, in lightweight linen with bias binding in designer fabrics from this UK eBay seller. Several knitsibs want an adult-sized version. Still looking - drop a comment if you know of something similar.

The Sock is not at a very interesting place, but you can see progress. The yarn is Coop Knits, Socks, Yeah! in Labrodorite (reads more dull green than grey). Happy with my decision to drop the reverse stockinette and make the diamond shapes both wider and taller. Progress will be slow.

Yarny goodness: arrival of the darks for my Magic Circles Afghan palette. The interspersed cakes are handspun and/or variegated - might be too dull chromatically speaking. The basket of clear bright colours is calling to me. Yes, 100% wool, blanket designated for HUMANS ONLY. May have to post a sign.

Gene Marshall is a rabbit hole. You’ve been warned.
