problem solving

another japanese pattern more sewing on the edge. this time the issues come from not enough fabric for the facing.have parked it pinned,but not cut until i come up with a solution. the fabric is a medium weight two sided knit. ideas??

 this saturday i enjoyed another night at the opera. this time it was tosca, one of my favorites.

it was set up in a modern totalitarian regime, slightly updating the original libretto.

the tenor was magnificent, the soprano high grade. one can only appreciate "la caballé" who had not only a portentous voice but was also graced with clear diction something uncommon.

living on the edge

 

pants finished.more to come,but first a jacket.japanese patterns are easy to follow provided you know how to sew.i found the explanation of the elastic back somewhat puzzling, there are easier ways.
anyhow i'm going to make sensei happy today saying something and koto ga dekiru. that was the last lesson.going to try going fancier, linguistically speaking  (*^▽^*)

the concept of waste yarn

you begin your knitting using waste yarn and knit some rows ,then you begin the actual knitting.the reason behind is that that yarn will distort with the weights but then you'll unravel it to the good,perfect part.

problem is when all the knitting becomes waste yarn.because of run stitches, missed stitches, looped stitches and all kinds of misbehavior. the knitting is pulled out from the machine and ditched to the no good pile,sigh.yarn wasted.

beginning again that particular piece.and i thought weaving taught patience. compared to machine knitting weaving is a piece of cake,in machine knitting you need to control a tremendous number of variables.that is why when all works it is so exhilarating.
