Craft Life Evolution
I figured things would change when I picked up and moved across the globe… And they have, I’ve barely had the mental energy to think about crafts in the past month. But it’s all still on my radar and it will return to my routine soon enough.
I have noticed that I can buy a decent sewing machine, at Carrefour in Mall of the Emirates (and probably elsewhere).
Magrudy’s bookstore in Festival Centre has yarn and sewing notions, among other art and craft supplies, way in the back.
I am most looking forward to checking out the textile shops here sometime. They are in Satwa on Plant Street.
And I have started making a Berroco pattern, Nimbus, in a lightweight cotton blend, and with a revised gauge of course.
Finding time to make things won’t be too hard–kiddo still goes to bed around 7pm regularly–it’s the navigation in this wacky city on the way to places where you can get supplies that takes forever. A little bit at a time…
