New Year, new wardrobe purge

Yes, another wardrobe clearout. Its good to clear out your wardrobe, especially if like me it tends to grow due to making things and stalking the local charity shops. Also it raises money for charity.

I got rid of a lot including:

Overlarge tshirts (if it doesnt fit, it goes)

Pair of cords I made which continually moult red fluff

Red jacket which always triggers remarks about air hostesses from work colleagues

Purple vintage dress with bleached bits underarms and on front

Acrylic jumper which is very matted (wool is better)

Glitter top which moults glitter

And I added a retro leopard pattern cardi ex M&S and some posh tights, both from my local charity shop.

Sewing and Knitting 2022

 I’m working on sewing and knitting plans for 2022. Assuming we are still going to be having lots of home and crafting time due to the times we live in, but hoping for more opportunities to get out and about too.

I have got or ordered supplies for:

Dark green linen trousers

Mauve floral jersey dress

Pale green jersey cardigan

Mustard yellow knit cardigan

Beige aran cabled knit bodywarmer

Interestingly I knit as a hobby (process knitters enjoy the making) whereas with sewing it is all about the end results. I guess lurking by a noisy sewing machine with a teeny worklight just isn't as soothing. My knitting is experimental, but I tend to sew the same successful patterns over and over in different fabrics.

Plants inside and out

 

I liked this view of winter trees reflected in the window of an office at Robert Gordon University. Through the window you can see a fine collection of indoor plants. This is partly a collage.
