I just have center seams left to sew on the last 16 blocks of the Australian fabric Hunter Star quilt. Then I can start playing around with the pairs that will make the full star blocks. There will be 2 blocks alike of each combination.
Last night I knitted while I watched 2 episodes of "Anne with an e" on Netflix. It is based on Anne of Green Gables which I just read for the first time about 3 years ago. They have the perfect girl playing the part of Anne.
I give the multi-skein dishcloths to my youngest granddaughter. I knitted about a third of the multi-skein one and half of the new one on the needles.
I knit about 3 of your pattern for the dish cloths and then I have to knit one that is just all knitting. Kind of a break. I have a small drawer now full for Christmas gifts. I like that purple fabric too, I'm kind of getting into purple now because of you. Such a lovely color.
I just read the Anne of Green Gables books for the first time last year and really enjoyed them. I haven't heard of that show, though. Glad to hear you are doing better after the pacemaker. I still enjoy your blog postings and learn so much about design and gardening from you. joyecox@yahoo.com
Tumbler flannel quilt looks bigger than a crib size in the photo... Looks so nice and cozy. Keeping your knitting going and some sewing. I marvel at your progress for getting back into the swing of your creativity. I know it is not what you usually produce, but OMG Wanda, it has only been 3 weeks since surgery. Those are fun dish cloths.
Did I ever tell you the microfiber yarn I used to make some dish clothes worked out really well and I didn't have problems with a lot of snagging while knitting. Love the way they wick the moisture away. AND I can bleach them and they do not fade.
I knit these too and they last forever.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks look like a lot of work. Can't wait to see a layout of all of them. Love the color change in the knitting.
ReplyDeleteI really like that purple fabric in the hunter star, it plays so nicely with the fabric that you paired it with.
