This is a quick pattern from the Amy Butler book In Stitches. Sewing the leather straps together was a bit of a task. I wrestled with them for a few hours, attacking it with every sharp, pointy object I could find in the house – screwdrivers, scissors, knives, my nose, pens, needles. I managed to get some holes in the ends, but they’re not the strongest straps.

Even though I have not posted in 132 days, it does not mean that I have not been crafty. Actually quite the contrary. It’s been a very crafty winter and spring. My fingers have been tied up in this lace scarf that only took me 4 months to complete. And even though it’s too warm for scarves now, I’m proud that I finished it. I can’t say it’s something I would actually wear. Chances are it will disappear into the bottom of a box at the back of a storage unit somewhere. Perhaps someday my great-niece’s grand step-child will pull it from a dusty old trunk and use it to wipe up an orange juice spill. But at least it’s finished. Dharma’s making a black one.
