I am a relatively cold person, as in I freeze alot. So whenever I can get my hands on some real good and warm wool, I\u00b4ll &amp;amp;nbsp;jump at the possibility. This wonderfully soft and fuzzy mohair\/wool sweater I found at H&amp;M on sale for a third of the usual prize. Downside: it was size XXL. I\u00b4m not that big. Not nearly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19678\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_6485-450x237-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6485\" width=\"450\" height=\"237\"><\/p>\n<p>BUT I do have an overlock (serger), and in 10 minutes I had cut off excess fabric\/knit, made new seams and voil\u00e1! A new, warm sweater size S! The great thing about the overlock is that it can both cut and sew all in one go. Below is a little &amp;amp;nbsp;sketch to show how I cut away (the arms were way too long too).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19682\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-1-450x276-1.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled-1\" width=\"450\" height=\"276\"><\/p>\n<p>And this evening my niece and nephew and I had our third creative date. My nephew wanted to learn how to embroider. And since that is what I am going to be doing a lot of this fall and winter, it was a perfect opportunity for me to see how they took my instructions, and what I needed to adjust. The hardest thing to remember is which way the stitch goes. And how to turn. I can actually remember that from when my Mom was teaching me, how I needed help in turning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-19679\" src=\"https:\/\/spindelmaker.bluesystems.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MG_6486-450x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_6486\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p>My nephew wanted to make a football.
