Hmmm

Should be about finishing quilts ~ not quite there yet but there's still hope =).  I got the most fun package in the mail the other day.

There was a giveaway by Carol at www.mamacjt.blogspot.com and my name was chosen as one of her winners. This pincushion, front and back, was created with labels that she purchased with that idea in mind. She does the most interesting work ~ colorful and very creative. My new pincushion is enjoying a place atop my sewing machine where she helps me piece peacefully.

Instead of finishing quilts that need to be completed in about two weeks, I worked on something else:

Another little munchkin joined the family a short while back and this will be his quilt when it's complete. Blocks were easy to construct, but getting the layout correct took way more brainpower than I expected. Still amazes me how easy it is for me to lay one block down the wrong way, mess up the entire layout, and spend hours trying to figure out what went wrong, including making another unneeded block. Finally got it fixed and I'm happy with the end result. This one still needs quilting.

In other stitches:

Ouch, this hurts the poor eyes. Didn't get a very good picture of this pair, but they are comfortable, have been worn and washed many times already. Found this pattern on Ravelry called Mockery Socks, designed by Katie Grady, and located on her Wired for Fibre website. Fun to knit and I'll probably use this pattern again.

This is also from Ravelry, final stitches still need to be grafted together, and the other sock has not yet been started. This pattern is Paraphernalia by Taina @ http://kasillaan.blogspot.com. Another really fun to knit project.

What can I say ~ there simply are not enough hours in a day. 'Til next time, I'm still
