Pooling Yarn Challenge

Sometimes I'm up for a challenge and this one I am going to try.  JudyL at Patchwork Times is hosting this challenge which you manipulate your stitch count when knitting socks to have your yarn colors pool.  I have 2 yarns I have selected in hopes of some pooling effects.  I have chosen Knit Picks Stroll in Sorbet color way and Opal's Antonia which my be less of a challenge manipulating the stitch count.
 

 
Hope these yarns will work but none the less I will have 2 more pair of socks.

Design Wall Monday

Been awhile since I last posted, but I have been able to check off a couple of items off my 'Get It Done' list.
 
Yesterday I finished the blocks for my Oil Slick Quilt and was able to assemble the body of the quilt.  The block is actually called Gamecock in EQ7 but I named the quilt after the what the manufacture called the border fabric I am using.
 


On the 9th I finished my Split 4 Patch quilt.  It waited in my to be quilted pile much too long and was on my February's 'Get It Done' list but now is finally checked off the list.
 
 
Stop by Patchwork Times to see what others are working on.

Get It Done

My February list is now part of my March's list.
 
Last night I was able to complete the binding on my Snail's Trail Quilt.  The Split 4 Patch quilt is on the frame with a few more rows to quilt so that should be finished by Monday.  Then there is more never completed Orca Bay, 1st border done but the pieced border is in pieces.
