I finished cutting the pebble weave knit sweater set. After cutting the top I stalled out for a while. I had to put the fabric away before cutting the cardigan which was good because I decided to trace off the draft pattern into two new patterns, a short version and a long version with separate pieces for right and left front and an entire back piece rather than the original "cut on fold" piece. This seems to work much better for me. On the first pattern I had lines with notes such as "cut on yellow line for left and green line for right" a clear cut path to future mistakes. Having separate pieces will reduce errors.
I cut the cardigan tonight. It went faster than the top mostly because I have worked out a technique for squaring up the knit and marking grids on the back of my fabric before putting the pattern pieces down. Still it was a slow go just because life intervened and I was not able to find any interruption-free time, even for the roughly 30 minutes I needed for cutting time. Although it is only 10:30, I am tired, too tired to even thread up the serger or fuse the interfacing; I know I will make a mistake.
I had hoped to be further, had hoped to have a sewing day yesterday, but life and workmen interfered. At least it was nice outside, and I did get to start clearing out a part of the garden in anticipation of spring. Today it is snowing again and we are supposed to get 8 inches by morning, heavy wet stuff this time and the power has already gone out a couple of times this evening. I will not be surprised if it goes again; another good reason not to get rolling on the sewing machines.
