I really really want to put this on my head:
(From this pattern on Ravelry)
And, in fact, I am going to put this on my head.
But, semi-relatedly, a few days ago I saw someone use the phrase “that long polygamy hair flowing down her back” (in reference to Kim Davis, the anti-marriage-equality county clerk) and now I’m wondering whether people think of my hair that way.
Never underestimate the wondrous powers of ironing.
Dilemma of the day:
Would I rather have symmetry and follow the pattern, or have a buckle that doesn’t fall directly over my spine? It’s not that likely to be a problem, but…
I made a lot more progress on the harness project while I was sick, than I am now while I’m recovering and Sparkly is sick. Oh well.
I’m finally starting the strap-on harness project. So far today I cut out all the pieces, and melted the ends of the nylon webbing so they won’t fray.
Thoughts so far:
I have to fold over and stitch down a narrow margin on various edges, and this microsuede fabric is a real pain to fold. I’m not sure if it’s safe to iron, and anyway I don’t own an iron, so now it’s wrapped in a towel and sitting underneath a pile of books. It seems like the fabric has some direction to it and the folding would’ve gone better if I’d cut these pieces out facing the other direction. Oops.
The interfacing is white and has a slightly rough surface, so I can draw on it with a regular old pencil! Very convenient.
My hips are a full three inches narrower than they used to be, but my natural waist is exactly the same (not that my waist measurement has anything to do with this project, but I was curious.) Bodies are weird.
Using geometry to solve problems! My dad would be proud. I don’t think I’m going to tell him about this project, though.
