Me Made May: some thoughts

June 12, 2014 Elena KnitsAllergies, Hawthorn, Histamine Intolerance, Knitting, MeMadeMay, SAL, Sewaholic, Sewing, Social, Thoughts, Thurlow, Turlow

I apologize for the delay in writing and publishing this post. I thought the most boring part would be adding the pictures, but it wasn’t like that. In fact, I added them ten days ago, but my allergies and health issues are distracting me too often from the things that …

Completed: Blue Herrinbone Thurlow Trowsers

February 26, 2014 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewaholic, Sewing, Thurlow

June 12, 2013 Elena KnitsFinished object, Sewaholic, Sewing, Thurlow

Last time I talked about them here was just after making my two muslins. I haven’t been very active here lately because I really wanted to have them finished in one week. Sadly that was not possible, it wasn’t a week but ten days. Not bad, I would say, for …
