i also started back teaching this week, i am teaching a third year social policy course down at the shoalhaven campus and i love teaching there, i had a big class, lots of mature age women, they were great. also doing a first year politics up here. i looked up my prospective students on the database. *sigh*.
anyway, in between all that i have managed to start seaming the L&S wrap:
i am using mattress stitch and it really does seam much better than back stitch. if you are patient enough to do it properly. this is a big If for me.
the fabric has blocked beautifully, its really smooth and flowing and i have done the shoulder seams so at least can report that it appears as though it may actually fit.
this is something of a consolation given my record in this department.
also, great news. i found a proper LYS. i have been going to craplight because i have heard mention of this place in fairy meadow somewhere but couldnt find it and i turned down the street towards the supermarket in a different direction today and there it was. i slammed on the brakes and ran inside. there was patonyle! vintage hues! heirloom! even lovely great hanks of naturally, and addi turbos too! i nearly bought some black patonyle and some new turbos but put them back, given that i just bought all that black from bendigo, and owe george a bit of german sock money, and dont have, and am not going to buy, any of the jo sharp silk road i wanted to knit beanies with on addi circs.
it was hard to put things back but at least i know this shop is there now, and very close to home, and all is not lost.

Keep up the good wrap work (mattress stitch is certainly worth it - I always ask my finisher to use that hahaaha).
Yay for a decent LYS! But not for budgets, *sigh*
