I pieced several four patches today-it was fun to just grab pairs the pile and work them together.
The pile is going down!
I will keep working until they are all gone-then I will figure out how I will place them into a top!
Ahhh, the mittens.
I failed at the cast on with too many stitches and didn't listen to my little knitting voice.
When I tried it on to begin the decrease at the tip,
I knew it was way too big-much bigger than the first mitten of the pair.
I had cast on 10 stitches more than I needed.
I ripped it all out and will reknit it today!
I did draw and paint the Locust flower.
My page isn't as wide as the calendar which forces me to make adjustments
in the arrangement but I did it!
Do you enjoy challenging yourself?
Such pretty projects. That will be a lovely quilt. Sorry about the mitten. Why is it that we often don't listen to our "knitting voice?"
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me I need to get a wiggle on my knitting of mittens!
ReplyDeleteI love your little scrappy quilt! I like a good challenge but I have to admit the stress of living the pandemic lifestyle has caused me to be more cautious about everything. I find myself leaning towards things I am familiar with-books, tv, movies, projects. I am not in the mood for surprises.
ReplyDeleteThat's a tricky question. LOL Sometimes???? I'll go with that.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the mitt redo. But, better to have them fit than not.
If I pick the challenge, I’m more apt to actually do it; if someone else picks - not so much.
ReplyDeleteI like how your patchy blocks are turning out and as for the mittens, well, I think most of us have done that. Better to start over, or as I have done, if I have enough yarn I'll make another pair to match the two that are done. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Yes and no. My challenge right now is to conquer quilting feathers. I am going to practice, but I wish I had a bog something to practice on that I didn't really care about. Maybe I just need to piece a scrap baby quilt and do it? Love your drawings!!!
ReplyDeleteLike Chris, Yes and No. If I know I can conquer the problem I will make an attempt. But if i am getting frustrated then no
