The old shawl attempt was ripped out and I am knitting the Elevations shawl.
I am carrying the color up the side for the color changes
because I couldn't bear to have all the ends to weave in!
I am making sure I am carrying the strands Goldilocks right-
you know, not too tight or too loose but just right! lol
It is working out well!
I almost have the pattern clear in my head as I work along-
I do forget what side I am on every once in a while
so I am grateful for the stitch marker on the front
so I can glance for the assurance of which side is which!
I also managed to make some binding and sew it in place.
I must have imagined I already cut and sewed and pressed some for this quilt!
I couldn't find it anywhere, if I did indeed make some.
It's so much fun to age....
And a new quilt is on the frame already! This one is for my neighbor, Millie.
She finished the Shop Hop blocks we did last summer!
I love the soft, puckery look a good wash gives to a quilt too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet quilt, I am sure it will be loved.
ReplyDeleteIt will go in the pile now and wait for just the right baby to come along!
DeleteThe baby quilt is so pretty. The swirly quilting lines on the green are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI think your fun yarn has morphed into a lovely shawl. I recognize that marker? Val?
ReplyDeleteRight you are-marker is from Val!
DeleteNice job on the quilt. I love how washing gives quilts a nice crinkly look.
ReplyDeleteI use a marker to indicate the right side, too.
I was confused for a minute when I saw the Lighthouse quilt on your machine...I forgot that Millie got those blocks, too! The sawtooth quilt is gorgeous.
