I Don't Do Chaos...

Brynwood Needleworks - Knitting Vignette - Making Socks

I finished the Corgi Tote Set on Wednesday and then I left the studio for the night. I walked back into the studio yesterday to see the mess I left behind me. Utter chaos!

I'm not very productive in a messy environment, so I had to start by cleaning up my workspace. I put everything away, tossed those bits and bobs too small to use again, and then washed my flat surfaces (fabric dust really builds up!) and vacuumed the room (I still have carpet in there, ugh). My last task was to clean up Destiny again.

Once I'd tidied up the joint, there were a few of Handsome's cotton shirts that needed my attention. I turned on my Rowenta Pressure Iron & Steamer to get those wrinkles out of his shirts. It didn't take long, and once they were put away, I could turn my attention to another project.

I do want to mention that my pressure iron is perfect for all my sewing projects, too. It really puts a crisp finish to anything that needs to be ironed, without distorting shapes. Simply put the iron to the seam and pull the trigger for a blast of directed hot steam.

If you're contemplating a new iron, I highly recommend this one. (I'm not compensated for this review.) It uses spring water in the reservoir, and I can sew for hours without having to refill it. 

So, that was all finished, and I vacuumed the rest of the house (did I tell you Corgis shed...a lot?) so I could sit down, guilt-free. What to do next? What to do?

Work on my socks! I pulled out my yarn bowl - a gift from my friend, Tammy - and got back to knitting.
