It’s another cold day (40s-50s) I’m glad I have a space heater in the studio. I’ve been tidying up and getting all the pieces together for the vintage automotive vinyl tote bags I’m working on, but I think it’s too cold to glue outside, and the fumes if I do it in the studio are probably not safe (lack of ventilation, and flammable with a space heater.) Also, I wish I had a box fan to better ventilate when I’m gluing or painting inside the studio. Usually I just do it outside, but I’m at the mercy of the weather.
I finished two amigurumi projects while in Utopia, a Homer donut from Cute Crocheted Food (Emma Varnam) and a fortune cookie from Crochet Café (Lauren Espy). The donut took a couple of tries because I read the pattern wrong, and realized the directions in Cute Crocheted Food were in UK terms instead of US terms (dc=sc); and the fortune cookie is tiny because I used DK weight yarn instead of worsted (and a size 3.5mm instead of 4mm crochet hook) so I made it into a stick pin.
