and choosing so carefully

[starfallz]

Weekend of making. I even wished I could make even more than I did.


Trying my hand at stranded colorwork. Not too hard after a while. I may even come out of this with some ability to do continental knitting.


A heel... but toe-up... with a flap heel? Because it is fun to go backwards, Widdershins. I did show this before... sometime in February. I got it up to the increases for the heel, and then decided I wanted it ribbed, so I ripped it all the way back down to the end of toe and started again.

And something I've been meaning to do for ages (or at least, since I found the half yard of ikat cloth in my pile of fabric), I sewed some stuff together.


Now, I never said I was good at sewing. This project made me doubt my ability to sew straight lines, but I think the fabric may have conspired against me. And I could probably use a huge ruler and rotary cutter, which I do not need until I actually feel the need to acquire another hobby, like quilting.


Although it isn't perfect, it is quite useful. Case to contain all my double-point needles and so I could gleefully throw away all the wrappers.

Cedar Rapids, really? Maybe I should just go visit Holly for a weekend of quilting then. :D There's some local quilt shops that also have Asian style fabrics and I'm thinking I'm going to buy some of those for some of the framing blocks. All I have is a bag of your scraps. :)
