I made several swatches noting all my information and then ripping the out to make the block
I needed for a MKAL (machine knit along) I am taking part in on the KnitItNow site.
A blanket for charity is the goal-all in different stitches each in a 7 x 9" blocks
and seamed together eventually.
The rectangles are not blocked yet but I made 3 today.
(six really but the other three swatches were ripped out for these!)
It was a good lesson for me and easily entertaining.
so I am catching up; this one is for April, of course.
The one for May is going to be a wreath of flowers with a butterfly.
And the rest of the time was spent gardening.
This is pleasing on every level and now I need to up my game and make them for my yard!
keeping busy? the dianthus looks lovely - does it have a scent? I love the clove-like scent many of them posess!
ReplyDeleteall the best for Bill and I hope it'll all clear up soon!
Beautiful photos, glad you had some 'you' time.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of turning your lesson swatches into a charity blanket.
ReplyDeleteI hope Bill is doing well.
ReplyDeleteYou are so productive. I have been a slug all weekend. Sometimes that what I need.
You've been busy! I can't wait to see the finished embroidery.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to recycle with the blinds! Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have been busy. I'm impressed. I'm so glad to see your charity blanket. The recycled blinds look great. I love that idea.
