I really look forward to JudyL’s Design-Wall Mondays. It’s good to have a regularly scheduled time to take stock of what you’re doing (or sometimes not doing).
Quilting: Nothing too exciting. Well, I think the colors are kind of exciting, by it’s only strip sets, and the rest is a *shhhh* secret.
Knitting: Got the heel done on my Zauberball Crazy socks. This is the crazy yarn that has no repeat, so no two socks will be alike. Kinda takes the pressure off!
This yarn is very soft and nice to work with. My problem has been I’ve been taking them downstairs to “coffee”, and I end up taking out as many stitches as I put in. New Rule: Only work on socks alone. Conversation is too distracting. Movies are okay. Yesterday I watched a very old Miss Marple movie and a couple of episodes from Season 3 of Monk. What a great afternoon! Another afternoon like that and this pair should be pretty close to done!
Waiting in Bags Somewhere: Appliqued Tree of Life (due in May). Knitted Fish Hat (due in July). Circle Socks (due in July), Embellishing & Quilting Skinny Beach Table Runner (due in April, I THINK!). How’s that for a “Too Due” list?
it’s cool to see how that zauberball yarn is working, ’cause I have a ball of it in my stash! I like the way it’s making wide stripes without pooling strangely…
Ohhh, I love the strip set! The socks look toasty. What fun yarn that is.
Love the strip sets, now I want to see what you will make.
I always admire people who can knit specially socks
I am not very good at knitting.
