Yesterday I was out in Soho and able to stop in to my new obsession- Purl on Broome Street. They just moved there and now their 2 small stores have been combined into one large one. So exciting and it gave me lots of ideas. I just don't have enough hours in the day. At the moment I am catching up on mending and fixing stuff that I have in a pile for AGES! Nothing like procrastination!!
In the meantime I finally taught myself how to do the tunisian simple stitch. It is so cool. It looks like knitting and weaving all at the same time but its CROCHET. I've been making all sorts of little samples. Now I have to figure out what to make with it! Here are some of the samples:

And a good sewing machine is a terrible thing to waste!!
