1/22/2013 After seeing Sally J. at the Sew In, I decided to try a toe up sock ...again. So far, so good. I got the pattern from Knitpurlhunter.com, a great web site with lots of videos and patterns.
I'm working on the heel at the moment. The cast on was Judy's Magic Loop Cast On. A very good video of this was on knitpurlhunter's web site.
I finished another Entrelac scarf. The pattern is from frecklesandpurls.com. This yarn is by Plymouth and is called Gina. I liked working with it better than the Noro.
9-18-2012 Here is an Entrelac Scarf that I finished.YAY!!! The pattern is Entrelac Scarf from frecklesandpurls.com. The yarn is Noro, Silk Garden, 4 balls. I took a Craftsy Class on Entrelac knitting and learned a lot. I got the yarn in Spin in Sturgeon Bay, WI when I was in Door County earlier this month. I used #5 circular needles.
Well, I don't know how I did it, but I have managed to delete all past knitting projects AND replace them with quilt things...oops! Anyway, here is the latest pair of socks. It was yarn from the Rockin Sock Club back in March. The pattern is from Sockupied and has a cable pattern (although this picture doesn't do it justice). I knit them on 40" #1 circular needles..two at a time.
8-20-2012 Here is the finished quilt top I started at the April quilt retreat in Dubuque. The pattern is Hanging Gardens. It is a jellyroll-friendly pattern. I used fabric from the Moda line French General. Its a year or more old so there is probably a different version of fabric out there now. Now I have to get backing and quilt it. I'm not looking forward to that...all that blank space!! Once again, I ask myself...why?!? Why did I a make a large (larger than a wall hanging) quilt???? Where am I going to put this? When will I learn??!? PS. The 'quilt of the month' is in the same state you see below. NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!! Oy.....
Here's the progress I'm making on the Quilt Show BOM. It is very challenging! Only 9 more months to go!
I finally hung my cardinal small quilt. Its not too 'springy' but I looks better than the valentine's heart small quilt! Guess I'll have to make a spring small quilt...someday.
Started at Sew-In. Finished during Super Bowl. Made some redesigns. Added a Susan Cleveland piping with the binding.
This little quilt is a Party with Patrick design for December. Its onlt 12x12. Pretty cute, though. Finished in a day. That's what I love about small projects!!
