Jasmin started AND finished the Namu Cowl by Knitboop out of Lisa Souza Cashmere in

“squashblossom” (#MyRhineBIPOCSweater Join the Ravelry Group! , #BIPOCMAL2019). Jasmin

mentions the  #BIPOCMAL2019, which started in September and ends in November.

She loves Knitcompanion

There is a dopamine response that we get from checking off a completed task; I couldn't find a technical term for the specific instance.

Gigi made more hexagons for the Polygon blanket.

 

Jasmin is nearly finished with her Polwarth pullover.

And the Cottongrass pullover is done.


Gigi  worked on the  Regia Pairfect .

 

We will be collecting hats (locally) for refugees in New England:

Gigi knitted an Armley beanie by Woolly Wormhead out of pink yarn.  It has been blocked, still needs

Vitamin D cardigan: Discovered that it suffered a serious snag. Need to repair it.

 

And Sew On:(41:34)

In Gigi’s sewing class at Cañada College, she got the muslin for her skirt fitted; next step is the waistband.  

Also, got started on the bodice 

 

Couture Embellishments class at West Valley College continues. 

Gigi turned in smocking and cartridge pleating samples.  

Working on beading and sequin Techniques 

The midterm project is supposed to be Embellishment and rejuvenation of something out of the closet;

the final is supposed to be sewn from scratch 

We are supposed to hand in a project plan, a description of what we are planning, I think that time and

cost estimates are supposed to be included.
