To Infinity! (192:365)

I've been dying to make/ buy an Infinity Scarf for months now and actually bought this cheapy $2.50 knit scarf from Target a few months ago to make one from.

I used this quick tutorial, from HomeMadeMamas, which is an awesome blog, btw.

And, Voilà!

After I realized I'd sewn it right side out, and corrected my mistake, it really only took like 5 minutes to do. Love this tut! Can't wait to experiment more with this. Maybe a patchwork one will be coming out of my brain sometime soon... 



P.S. If you don't like this song by Vampire Weekend, there is something wrong with you.
One of my favs. Vid is cool too.

Bobbin' for Problems (150:365)

I tried to make a ruffly scarf today with a cheapy cute knit scarf from Target, similar to this one here.

Turns out I have to adjust my bobbin casing because I have a Brother sewing machine which does not like to be adjusted.

I pulled it out and followed these directions here trying to make it work properly.

My little painted green screw wouldn't budge.

Argh!

Well, turns out it's a good thing, because I then googled around some more and found this little bit of information here:

Caution

Do not adjust the bobbin case with green marking. If a green marked bobbin case is adjusted, it may be broken and cannot be used anymore.

  

Ah! Thank goodness it wouldn't budge for me! Now, I just need to get another bobbin casing that is adjustable for shirring projects. 

Lame.
