Finally found some lavender pre quilted stashes in a bottom bin the the fabric closet! I've been to three JoAnn Fabrics looking for it! If anyone knows someone who would do diamond longarm quilting on plain fabric for a reasonable price let me know. The quality in pre quilted has been on the decline.
N dear the 4th bag is not pictured so I can surprise you when I am done. :D
Making a pair of socks for a friend using some 3IG club yarn. Definitely a softer yarn than the STR, and I'm wondering how it will hold up under hard wear.
I was trying to design a sock that could be used with handpainted yarns and still allow the pattern to show through. I am not happy with the results, but I think I'll make myself knit the second sock, rather than frogging the first.
Version one was a gift for my hubby; version 2 has been commissioned by a friend. I'm not completely happy with it at the moment, but when it is done, I am sure it will look fine.
One major difference is that this time I was actually planning on following the "official" colour scheme (itself a bit crazy, as there are several variations on what is "official"), but I really don't like the white. In version 1, I used a light grey, though from photos of the original, I suspect "oatmeal" or even "ivory" is really the best choice. Likely that white stripe will be the only one in this scarf.
The chalkboard wall!! Sadly there will be no writing on the chalkboard wall until 3 days after painting... I'm really excited for Wednesday!!
