So last day of the year… just a small wrap up, as I’ve been busy as ever working on projects and trying to check things off the list. I finished two bags for friends for Christmas prezzies. Here’s the insides… one in beige and one in gray. I also managed to finished the [...] I do still knit and here’s some proof. 2 lovely pairs of socks. One with that new tomato heel. The jury is still out on if I really like it or not, but it was fun for this pair. The purple pair is my friend Julie’s pattern Monet’s Twist with a few variations. I’ve basically [...] Finished my Smart Shopper pattern by Sweet Treasures. Great pattern. Not sure if I would add both extra muslin pieces. It made it really thick. It is nice how it stands up though and you can’t see the inside fabric. I ended up having to use a 100/16 titanium Topstitch needle when I did [...] So I finished the 10 quilt. A great pattern for 10 fat quarters and a bit more, but the really fun part was that I got to take a Long Arm quilting class.

It [...] A very dear friend of mine is going to be a first time grandma and when I saw this cowboy quilt I had to make it for her grand baby boy to be. It’s backed with Minkee and yes the sewing gals at the knitting group tried to warn me off it, but I [...] I have a new little knitting notions bag. This was one of the little kits that I picked out at the quilt show and it turned out great! I’m so pleased with myself. What took the longest was the zipper – I futzed it and futzed it until it was just right. However, if [...] I’ve been working really hard to finish up some really old projects. They had been WIPs way too long and that had to come to an end. In a finish or frog it decision I decided to felt this mitten and make it a cat toy. It was too big and I was not [...] So I have not forgotten to knit. I’ve been working on the Northern Lights Shawl (a Rav freebie) with my newly purchased Sophie’s Toes Magic Ball in Preppy Girl. This is my project page if your interested in my notes. I managed to whip up this large knitting bag and the shawl even on [...] |
