I look at the website, Pinterest, alot. I found several ideas and decided to come up with one of my own. So I drew a cupcake pattern on the back of a Braum's sack.
Bought some cupcake fabric at Jo-Ann Fabrics.
Cut out my cupcake.
Made a "rag" tutu using the cupcake fabrics. I'm going to try and embroider the cupcake on a white t-shirt with my new sewing machine. I'm making this to bring to Audrey when I come in a couple of weeks.
I participated in March Madness at the YMCA this month. If you go to the Y a minimum of 18 times, you get a free t-shirt. Woohoo! I got my free t-shirt. This is only the 2nd one I've received in about 15 years of membership.
I also signed up to take a mobius cowl knitting class at our local yarn shop. The trick is in the cast-on. Once you learn that it's a breeze. I took the class yesterday morning (Saturday). After I cast on my 75 stitches this is what it looks like. It's the strangest thing ever.....
I'd knitted 3 rows and started purling by this point. So it's growing.
I had the project completed by the time I went to bed. It turns into an infinity cowl/scarf -- there is no end and there is a twist in it. So there are no seams. Anywhere.
Here I am modeling it. I want to make some more of these. It was a very quick project by my standards. I want to learn how to make it a little longer, however, as I prefer mine not to be so short.
This weekend is also the Medieval Faire here in Norman. I rode my bicycle up there today after church just to look around. I was specifically looking for a yarn bowl and I found one!! An artisan from Kansas had a booth and had just what I was looking for. You can either use one of the holes on the side or there is a swirly cut-out on one side that you can slide the yarn down through. It keeps the ball from rolling around and falling on the floor. Love it!
