Design Wall Monday

 

I put together this lap quilt in the past week.  It's from Bonnie Hunter's Leaders and Enders book the pattern is called 'Rick Rack Nines.'

 

 

Quick quilt to put together especially since I have a bin full on 2 inch squares.

 

Stop by Patchwork Times to see what others are working on.

 

Happy Sewing!

On (and Off) the Needles Friday.

On Monday I finished my Color Affection.  What a great summer at Camp Loopy, I can't believe what I was able to finish.  I never thought I could knit over 800 yards in a month but I did it - twice!
 

 

 Now I am back at my West Knits Mystery Shawl, which is no longer a mystery.  I am still working on Clue #2 and hope to be on the 3rd clue by next Friday.

 

 

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

Design Wall Monday

It's been over a month since I posted on Design Wall Monday but I still have nothing on my Wall, Floor, Lawn.  I have been gone knitting but now that it's no longer 100 degrees outside I'm getting in the mood to sew.  The last time I was at my machine I was working on binding a quilt - I still have half of it to go and once I finish it I will be starting on another quilt and it will probably not be one of my WIP.

Stop by Patchwork Times to see what others are working on.

Happily sewing again,

Mary

On the Needles Friday

Still working on my Color Affection but I am nearing the end - only 11 more rows on the border and then on to the never ending bindoff.

Already looking forward to my next knitting project.  I was able to get Lorna's Laces Sock in the London '12 colorway that they dyed in celebration for the Olympics.  I ordered it from Jimmy Beans Wool and their promotion during the Olympics was to deduct money from the price for each of the medal the US won.  The promo deducted 5 cents for gold, 3 cents for silver and penny for bronze - so I was able to save $3.46 on the skein.  I have decided to knit Summer Wind Cowl with it.

But before I start the cowl I must finish my West Knits Shawl.

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

Off to work today.

On the Needles Friday

Making progress on my Color Affection, I have 2 1/2 more repeats of the third section then on to the 2 inch border.  I was hoping to be farther but a couple of mistakes slowed me down but I am going strong now.  My goal is to have the border done by next week.

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

Off to watch more of the Olympics and knit.

On the Needles Friday

Making progress on my Color Affection, just starting the short rows today.

I've never really had an issue with my yarn tangling when knitting socks 2-at-a-time but adding

 a third stand of yarn gets into a whole new level of entanglement.

Take a minute and stop over at PatchworkTimes and see what others have on their Needles.

No more knitting for today - I'm off to work.
