Sorry I got distracted and never went to see what the fabrics were (but I can recommend that new Disney movie Onward). The fabrics are from Michael Miller and I think the line is Kitschy Cocktails (or at least one of the pieces is that). I think one other might have been called Moms Little Helper but I can’t find that salvage.

Another day, another project dump. This is a catch-all from both March & April (plus a February dress I forgot to put in a batch before).

I spun up 200g of Noro pencil roving. It’s about 500 yards of 2-ply and 14 yards of 3-ply. I’d never chain plied before, so that was fun. And, by fun, I mean not all that fun. Darn near pulled my tiny wheel off the tray and had to hand-wind most of the bobbin since getting speed and tension right for that kind of plying was, apparently, beyond me. Ah, well, back to convincing my DH that I need a full-sized wheel.

I second @AIMRs vote.
If you can do that with a little wheel, I’d love to see the results on a full sized one.

That yarn is super pretty! I wish I was better at knitting and crochet so I could use pretty yarns like that.
I was working on some masks this weekend. I know a few people who are considered essential that I decided to make a few masks for. And a friend contacted me about making them 20 so I was busy. I did not enjoy making them and don’t plan on making many more. But anyone sewing them up like crazy is stronger than me.
Anyways here are two of them I forgot to get a picture of the big group.

@poetrylover828 Those are beautiful! The batiks are so bright and cheerful. I also am finding masks dull as dishwater (those ties take forever!) but it feels kind of frivolous to be sewing anything else.

I hate that it feels like sewing for yourself is bad. Maybe I should be sewing more masks and donating them but I don’t want to sew them. I still have a few more to finish up and it’s not much but I don’t have motivation because it’s bleh. The people who are still going strong making them are great. But once I’m done with the few masks I need to finish I’m going to be done. And I am letting myself be okay with that.

Is anybody interested in a thread for pattern review for mask making? I’ve checked out dozens of tutorials and most of them have a mix of good and bad design aspects. I’ve made a few styles but honestly, I’m going to mash the best ideas together and come up with something that is functional, takes an optional filter, and is FAST and easy to put together.

You guys, this came across my feed…it is a fast way to make the ties for the mask ties…if you want to put bias all around, it is faster just to unpick about 7 inches than it is to iron and such…this works!

And I’m a big fan of the soccer ones - there’s so much going on with that fabric you barely notice the seam down the middle
