sewing
I found these neat instructions for turning regular jeans into maternity jeans. I don’t know about the 30 minutes of sewing it as more like 2 hours for me! The finished result is very good, although i have a bit of a problems with the jeans riding down a bit, but i can put up with this for what is essentially a pair of maternity jeans for free!

many things for feet
Wow what a great weekend!
My DH was in fact supportive of the knitting, I don’t know why that is, maybe I’m easier to get along with when I have a creative outlet…. I have felt like a soulless gypsy for the last few weeks, floating about not doing or achieving anything. I still cant get into my knitting as much as I would like I seem to defeat myself before I start, at the moment I think the problem is that I have quite a bit of yarn in single balls that I don’t know what to do with, I seemed to amass quite a bit of sock yarn int he hope I was about to become a “sock knitter” but that alas did not come to fruition, so any help on what are good projects for sock yarn would be helpful.
Things I feel like I achieved this weekend:
I finished two pairs of booties,
I re-washed 3 pairs I knitted in December
I blocked my clapotis (don’t look too hard at the picture, my blocking was quick and dirty, but it did the job)
I made some tomato sauce.
I made a decision that I wouldn’t be knitting the SOTS ii, which is a good thing because now i can stop feeling bad about not doing it.
I have picked up and am knitting on the second lego sock (I want to finish this pair this month, which will leave me two pairs left to complete)
