A fun and fast knit. I can’t wait to hear if it fits or not as it looks a tad small to me.

The little bit of sewing I did on the sundress gave me the sewing bug again. The next sewing project is a car organizer that attaches to the back of your car seat. It is for Michael. Can you guess his favorite football team? Did I make that too easy to guess?

It’s been cut out a good long time and he keeps asking about it, so I guess it’s time to start sewing it.

I  didn’t make it to the gussets of the socks so they don’t look much different. We’ll try for that goal again this week. I did make another sock yarn square though.

I now have eight of them done so I still have a long way to go. I should probably start blocking them as I make them so I don’t have to do them all at once.

No major goals for me this week except for finishing up the car organizer so that I can start a pair of pajama pants I want to make myself.

Happy Wednesday!
