Stars and Signals Case, originally uploaded by Machineplay.

Irritatingly, I broke my sewing machine, Dorcas.

I really wanted to sew this case. I cleaned up for six hours to get everything in order. And then, in attempting to get at the bulb to change it, I popped the band off of the dial to turn the machine on and off.

Back she goes to the sewing center. *eyeroll* I suck.

In the meantime, I’m knitting Meursault for my girlfriend in Sangria (a raspberry shade) Moda Dea Wool ‘n’ Silk.

I thought Meursault was perfect for her to wear while she was out and about in Seattle in her wheelchair. In a pinch, it will do service as a lap-blanket or a wrap for her son. We’re very excited about the wheelchair. I plan to make a little case for this shawl so it can be hung on the back of her chair where she can reach it in a pinch.
