Strike that, reverse it

I spent the last week grumbling over that square I'd made badly, so I took out the last three seams and redid them. Much improved. I also did one other square. My bad sewing last week made me sufficiently nervous that I sewed really slowly, because all that took me an hour. I had plans to sew more than that, but all this yummy salsa I've been eating all weekend is numbing my brain...

2.25 hours for me!

2011: Return to sewing mountain

Finally I have done some sewing. With no particular inspiration, I went back to my quilt, and sewed three squares up in an hour. Except, one of the new ones is pretty uneven - see? I have to think about whether it might even get the axe (or the seam-ripper). How many am I supposed to be making again?? Anyway, I've got 4 more squares ready to go, so hopefully that won't take another month to get to.

Also, a very small amount of hoarding: I spent 15 minutes working on my crochet creature during the Superbowl, and a few minutes the day before that helping someone (who shall henceforth be called 'my evil twin') learn how to knit. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I had some secret tips to pass on!

1.25 hours for me!
