I’m definitely going one step forward, two steps back this week, with my Tizzy cardi. I’ve sewn the top of the shoulder and undone it three times before arriving at this shape.
In the meantime, I’ve unpicked other seams, including the sleeve seam (totally unnecessarily) but I’ve maybe now found a way forward.
Here are the pieces I’ve yet to sew together.
On Monday we went up to our village church for the state funeral on a big screen. We didn’t realise the vicar was driving it all via her mobile signal, including a surreal bit of buffering in the 2 minute silence (I think we did about 5 minutes!). Hymns were a bit like the game in BBC R4’s ‘Sorry I haven’t a clue’ where the song fades out and you have to continue, hoping to be in time when the music comes back.
Still, it made it more real; I’ve never been to a funeral where everything went well, and it felt more like taking part than just watching on tv at home.
Here’s a picture of Bella and Gracie looking like butter wouldn’t melt…Bella has brought three mice in this week alone. Brian’s getting very good at catching them and taking them outside again.
And finally…
Take care and happy WOYWW!
Hugs

Hope you finally get there soon with the cardigan Lynne. Glad you watched the funeral in company. Meow to Bella and Gracie. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #1
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Sounds like the vicar needs better broadband. But the trade off to have a shared experience rather than watching at home alone was possibly worth it. Good luck getting Tzzy finally sorted - hope you will model her when it is done!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW from my bed with a bad back. Ugh!

ReplyDeleteYou are exhibiting endless patience with the tizzy cardigan. I secretly hope it’s pure bloody mindedness too in not giving in to it! I’ve said I love the colours you chose and am now waiting with almost bated breath because you really are very close to finishing it now! Your funeral experience made me smile, the hymns were marvellous weren’t they, all quite well known. Not that I’d like to have been caught having to sing them without accompanying voices and music!!
ReplyDeleteI bet the hymn singing made everyone smile, your comment made me laugh but i feel for the vicar trying to sort it out, bless her. I’m sorry you’ve had problems sewing/unpicking Tizzy, was it tricky wool to undo?
ReplyDeleteI won’t be around for the next couple of weeks, see you soon!

Love the colours of the cardigan. I wouldn't have your patience. Cute kitties, mine was forever doing the same. Anne x 22
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your patience with the cardigan and the colours are gorgeous. How nice to watch the funeral with others and singing along makes it so much more poignant. Take care, with love & God bless, Caro xxx (#11)
