cut and sew

the knitting machine phagocyted 200 grams of wool, close to 1500 mts and didn't have a knitted  piece for starters. in weaving 1500 mts can produce a lot of yardage so is the nature of the beast.

thought about a color blocked sweater, but not even enough material.

i remembered a much loved knitted top and spent a week looking for it with the hope it had made the move along with me and twenty million other things.

YES found it so it was a matter of drawing the pattern. and now a chamomile tea to keep my hands from shaking as i cut the knitted fabric . it's half milano something akin to double knit so it can withstand cutting w/out disintegrating in ladders.

 a visiting friend from the states. we'll be going to the balenciaga museum in getaria and  also bilbao. back next week.

fun times expected; let the girlfriend tour begin.
