Nothing exciting here, just nesting and seaming.  I only have two more squares to sew together on the Technicolor Blanket, and then I have to sew them all together!  And then, there’s the border, but I’m taking it one day at a time.  If it doesn’t get finished before the Beast gets here, then it … Continue reading →

So it’s been a while.  The last two weeks have involved lots of nesting and the transition from enjoying pregnancy to being over it.  They have not included much knitting, but I am working on finishing the Technicolor blanket.  I would really like to have it finished before the beast gets here, so I’m seaming … Continue reading →

I haven’t started anything new, still plugging away on the Retro Redux Shrug.  So, in an attempt to distract you, I thought I’d tell you how I spent my first Mother’s Day! We got a new tent in April and hadn’t had the opportunity to use it, yet.  I have suggested several times to the … Continue reading →

My current project has me switching gears a little bit.  It’s about time, right? This, my friends, is a Retro Redux Shrug from Lace Style in the making.  Inspired by Brynne, who made this shrug as she neared the end of her pregnancy, I decided that the shrug was the perfect project to scratch my … Continue reading →

More baby stuff! I know you’re surprised! I’m such a one trick pony right now.  These were made for twins of a co-worker who are due to arrive mid-August.  They were made using the Rainbow Marley pattern from Itty Bitty Hats, but they are neither rainbow or marley.  The rainbow part got left out because … Continue reading →

Seaming has begun on my Technicolor Blanket, but it will be slow going.  There are a whole lotta ends involved, not to mention matching up stripes.  The goal is to finish it before the kid gets here in 10 weeks.  That should be manageable, especially as I am finding myself spending more time on the … Continue reading →

Yay for quick finished objects!  This is a bib, loosely based on the Baby Bib O’ Love pattern found in the Mason Dixon Knitting Book.  I used part of the spaced invader chart from the bmp sock pattern in the current knitty.   I should have decreased some stitches after the bottom border and increased again … Continue reading →

After yet another trip to the craft store for more yarn (darn purple and orange), the technicolor blanket squares are finished!!!  This is their current layout, but I may play with it a little bit before I seam the whole thing together.  Obviously, there is still much work to be done between weaving in ends … Continue reading →

This photo was not staged, it is the actual pile of squares as they sit beside the chair in my living room.  I’m on square number 32 out of 36, meaning that I have less than 5 squares to go before assembling this sucker!  I really hope to finish them this week so I can … Continue reading →

…Is that when you hit a roadblock in one of them, you can turn to the other!  I decided this would be the weekend to bust out the walking foot and learn how to use it through quilting the first quilt-top that I completed.  This morning, I pinned the quilt pieces together (and discovered that … Continue reading →
