First, though, was curtains for our bedroom. There are internal blinds here but they don't keep enough of the morning light out - and in midsummer the sun rises before 4am. I ran these up v quickly, unlined, quite thick cotton, big grommets at the top for the pole so super easy construction. I'd have liked them just a touch longer but this was all the fabric I had.

EvilPixie Apr 2023 11:56am, 13 Apr 2023 42,276 posts	0 EvilPixie My knitting is driving me made! Doing a top I have made before and dint recall the lace section causing me such pain before I thought the last bit was right so merrily carried on but I’ve lost 2 stitches so need to put in the lifeline I only just removed and redo over an inch. This is the 3rd time I’ve done this I am now very good with lifelines!
