Saturday Summary

 Against all odds, I put the binding on the Starry Splendor quilt!
Of course, I put it on wrong and had to rip it out and start again but don't count that!
 I do love the way the quilt crinkles after a wash and dry!
 I have completed the 12 inches the pattern recommends
but I will be adding 2 inches since I am not the midriff peaking kind of woman!
This is an incredibly wonderful knit so far; 
I can't wait to join the sleeves and work on the yoke pattern next!
And because I could, I whipped off one of the sunflower dishcloths for the fun of it!

    Fabulous projects! I love how quilts crinkle from washing, too.

    I've been "almost" at that magical 12 inches for a week now. Every time I think I have it, I measure and...nope. Yarn lies.

    IT'S GORGEOUS! What do you do with all your quilts? Part of me wants to start quilting but the other part doesn't have any place to put them all.

    The quilt looks so cozy! I could use it right now as our temps have dipped dramatically! We no longer have Spring or Falls, just Summer and Winter! The knitting is gorgeous, and can't wait to see the mitts progress.
