you feel guilty about pleasure, you don’t deserve to have
pleasure.” said Nigella Lawson on
Milk Street Radio.
Hand Knitting
I made the Mitered
Dishcloth by Bernat with
a thick cotton yarn. We like garter stitch dishcloths because they
are super scrubby.
I also made a pair of Duffers, a fulled slipper pattern by Mindie Tallack using Paton’s Classic Wool yarn.
Machine Knitting
Skirt made with a rayon and linen yarn - maybe
