One of the things everyone has to watch out for with fiberarts is not overusing your hands with the same repeated movements.
I was very pleased with the diz results, much better spinning. But because of the scrunching movement of the left hand as the roving advances, I started having a bit of left shoulder pain. Also the flicking movement of spinning is hard on my right hand. So I have to take a short break before I get trouble going on both sides.
So I picked up the epp, the big diamonds, and found I had unaccountably cut the fabric a bit small, or the templates a bit big. Either way I had unusable fabric bits.
Since I had planned on an array of diamond sizes anyway, I cut the undersized diamonds down further to make smaller diamonds, for which I had a bagful of templates from another project.
There might be a mad array of shapes, clamshells, hexies, diamonds, patch work circles made from tiny bits before this project tells me what it is.
And after this morning's drama, see https://fieldfen.blogspot.com, and waiting to hear Handsome Son has got home safely from work,trees down all over, flooding, a bit of quiet stitching is a Good Thing.
