The fire ice cream pillow is done!!! I'm so glad it's finished and he really likes is. One more pillow and I'll be done with these forever! It's not a bad pattern I'm just tired of it. My daughter took this picture.
Apparently posting at night seems to be becoming a habit. The weekend was uneventful. I watched some Running Man, listened to some podcasts and worked on projects. I worked on the sleeves for my husband's sweater but I think I'm only up to 6" and I need about 24". I messed up on the sleeves as well. One of the sleeves will be a tad longer than the other because I put in an extra row instead of going to the other sleeve. I'll finish it but I don't think it will be before the end of April. I worked a little on the hitchhiker, a wash rag, and made another round on my daughter's sock (remember that?). Tomorrow I plan to put in some time on my husband's sleeves.
I went to my friend's house again to help her with her sewing machine. The first problem was that I can't find a manual on line for free. Maybe I'm not putting in the right search terms but everything I find is from $5-$15. I threaded it as best as I could but I could be doing it wrong. The second problem is the tension. I tried to adjust the tension but it is way to tight. Part of the problem is it doesn't seem to be sitting in the tension nob right and I don't know how to fix it. It might be something else. She was fiddling with the nobs and I'm not 100% sure what they all do. She was trying to sew with the tension like that and it kept snapping the thread. I have to figure out how to get that tension looser or she is going to get frustrated and give up. More yarn and sewing adventures next time.
