Yarn Along: inching along

I'm still reading Demelza, slowly but surely.
Lucy's handspun coat requires a little seaming at the underarms.  I'll sew on the buttons and weave in the final few ends.  Then I'll muster up some discipline so I can release the tiny perfect pile of bits that will result into the wild.  I have an urge to hoard them forever, with the intentions to stuff toys or hexipuffs, but they're better off lining nests for the winter.  As for the rest of the yarn, I'm plotting a vest for Sebastian.
My socks are all proceeding.  At the Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival, I carried this scrappy tube sock around with me, which I finished up the next day.  Now I'm working on his brother.  The Shiva socks have half a heel flap, and the crazy leg warmers gained a stripe.
I'm looking forward to posting a lot during Slow Fashion October, so stay tuned!
