Odds and Ends, Bits and Bobs

In the continued spirit of clearing out my to do pile, last night I got lots of very satisfying little jobs done.  And even more satisfyingly decided some jobs weren't worth doing.  I keep telling myself that I should have my bootleg jeans a sensible length so they don't fray at the heel, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  I'm not sure sensible length equals stylish length when it comes to trousers.  The problem is mostly solved by the bootleg being the current trouser cut that equals fashion suicide.

Granny Squares with some Grannies

 

I made some more granny sqaures today while I was working in a very quiet clothes shop.  It works well for me as the older ladies who come in sometimes have some tips, and I've got no idea what I'm doing.  Apparently I need to be leaving more chain stitches in the corners.  I'm more concerned about the fact they're all slightly different sizes and they're never going to fit together neatly, but not worried enough to do anything about it.  The silly thing is I was embarrassed to call them granny squares in front of the lady I spoke to as I somehow had the idea she might be offended by the association to a small acrylic square.
