and today.\u00a0 I can see his little brain figuring out the routines and games involved.\u00a0 He&#8217;s so shy, but already getting braver about participating.\u00a0 He&#8217;s also better about not hitting other kids.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"676\" height=\"381\"

hands and forearms for over a week.\u00a0 I try to take frequent breaks, stretching and resting my arms.\u00a0 It&#8217;s no fun not being able to knit for hours like I want to!\u00a0 Those on Ravelry can see I have a lot of projects in the works.\u00a0 This is the first summer where I haven&#8217;t wanted to slow down my knitting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m making an effort not to knit at all and to minimize iPhone use, in case all that finger and thumb work is contributing too.\u00a0 Sewing is not my best craft anymore.\u00a0 I&#8217;m out of practice and impatient.\u00a0 I know!\u00a0 You would think knitting takes more patience.\u00a0 But it takes so much more effort to set up a piece by sewing than knitting does.\u00a0 You can pick up needles and yarn, start or stopping willy-nilly.\u00a0 But sewing involves lots of space, planning, prepping, thread, pins, measuring, and cursing at the pattern because the marks NEVER line up for me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had this great jersey stripe fabric for a while with a top from Burda in mind.\u00a0 It came out a little boxy, but I think it will look nice with skinny jeans.\u00a0 (I did iron it after taking these pictures.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/4629a-img_6376.jpg\"

edges are raw.\u00a0 The jersey won&#8217;t fray.\u00a0 This was a simple project.\u00a0 It took longer to sign in to buy the pdf, print, and tape it together than it did to cut and sew the actual
