Sew Spoiled

I have to share with you a new product that has so many uses!!! It is called Sugru and it is play dough for grown ups. All you do is find a need, open the package, squish it and mould it anywhere you want. Sugru can stick to anything and hardens like other silicones. I had the perfect problem to trouble shoot. My dishwasher rack  started to rust and fall apart. Yuck! I took all of the rust off but this left a metal rod exposed. You have to squish it. It feels just like play dough but has a funny smell to it.  Make sure you keep this away from children!!  You have to let it dry for 24 hours and Ta Da it is fixed!!! Sugru is amazing! I have used my dishwasher now for an entire week and Sugru has protected the dishwasher rack. No more rust and I did not have to buy a new rack I could still use this one. Stuff is not made to last any more but with Sugru you can fix it. You can even personalize products to make them better.

I adore my new red-orange sweater. The pattern is called the Oatmeal Pullover Sweater from Jane Richmond . This morning the temperature outside was 40 degrees and it was perfect weather for a sweater! When a project takes so much time you sometimes wonder if all the effort is really worth it. I am so glad I finished it. I did do a few things differently, for instance, I made full length sleeves not 3/4. Funny story, after knitting the amount the pattern asked for I realized that it was too long so I just decided to knit the rest of the sleeve. (I guess I have short arms.) It also looks great under my Minoru Jacket from Sewaholic Patterns.  You should definitely try it!
