I just set my short term weight loss goal for my average weight over the last decade, which has seen me across a range of 40 lbs (18 kg). For someone as short as I am, that’s a lot! Yay for being down 20 lbs (9 kg) from my heaviest! 🎉 Now to see if my CRPs will also start dropping 😊

I could have done that without the hint of if I had just thought a little more about the hint in the bottom right corner.

Just cleaned up some kids books, prepping to fix them even though I barely know what I’m doing. The one I’m most interested in fixing is a pop-up book about mice! Most need a page or two fixed, or to patch up their binding. One basically needs to be rebound. One needs portions completely recreated!

Finished repairing Skelly’s Santa belt! This involved placing six 2” strips of 1.5” wide Velcro with industrial strength adhesive, then sacrificing a needle to sew through the Velcro & only the top layer of vinyl, getting it covered in glue & bending the eye, & repainting the gold on the buckle. 🧶🪡
Best example of the soft Velcro, which went more quickly than the hard Velcro. The edges are whip stitched down, and ends are tucked into the glue. It helped that this was near one of my unpressed seams joining two lengths of vinyl to make the belt long enough for Skelly, so there was space between the layers. The best example of the stitched on hard Velcro. Here the whip stitch went out straight, rather than the usual slant, because I didn’t want the thread in the way of the plastic tines of the Velcro. This was a pain in the butt, between spacing, glue, and the rigid surface. At least there was a bubble nearby to separate the vinyl layers? The belt buckle, all shiny and gold, was tacked in place by the four internal corners. I used the stitching holding the two layers of vinyl together to help securely anchor the tacks, so I didn’t have to worry about if I was getting to the knit backing of the plastic vinyl to avoid it just tearing off through pure plastic. A close up of the needle held up by my index and thumb (with long nails marred slightly from needle gouges), cleaned of glue goop and showing off its new bent eye. I can still use it with a hemostat, as long as I don’t crush the eye, so it will stay in my kit for now. It has a slight overall bend to it now as well, not visible at this angle.

I frogged a cuff I didn’t need to, but I’m kind of glad I did & now I’m thinking about frogging & redoing the other one too, but only after I finish repairing Skelly’s Santa Claus belt. Skelly is my partner’s 12 ft tall skeleton. We did not have the right glue for the Velcro to stay put on vinyl. 🧶🪡

The capelet, modeled by its new owner. A green variegated wool worked with a 4.0 mm hook in pineapple stitches, single and double crochets, cells, triangles, and a leaf panel. The fasteners are also crocheted, and there is only one start and end for the piece.
Front of the capelet, draped over a small floral print dress. Both front panels are visible, with the ruffle of the pineapple stitches falling over the model’s elbows. The fasteners sit perfectly at their neck, with the collar and triangles just falling short of their chin. The model’s smile is visible, and they’ve popped a knee forward for a sassy pose. Back side of capelet. This view shows the lovely drape of the cell panels and the ruffles of the pineapple stitches. It falls perfectly around the model’s elbows, and to their waist. Their curls fall over the collar, hiding it from view.

Not quite patiently waiting for permission from the parent of the kid I gave the capelet to in order to post pictures of the final product, but hey - it’s done! Now I’ve started crocheting convertible fingerless gloves/mittens in the same yarn, plus lovely brown hand spun alpaca I picked up at MNRF.
