The blocks are all pieced for the Ohio stars with the kitty print centers.
Today, the plan is to sew the blocks into a top and then to think about the borders.
The Pimpelliese shawl hit a snag--this is getting to be my theme song for shawls lately!
My problem is using the handspun and not having enough yarn to finish the project.
This time, I have found another skein of grey Shetland wool
and instead of dyeing it, I am going to use it like it is.
I ripped out the whole thing, moved up a needle size and am liking the results.
One nice side effect is that now I can count the rows easier! lol
Yes, the watercolor yesterday was the froggy that Tyg tries to catch at Vera's fountain!
Your kitty quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a stripey Pimpeliesse. I never thought about using two different yarns.
I think a lovely golden yellow would be a perfect border for those kitties
ReplyDeleteLoving the kitty quilt. It looks happy and cozy. I'm like Debra. I've never thought of striping the Pimpeliesse. I should have done that when I ran out of yarn on the one I'm working on. (It's still out of stock). I'm so far along though, I can't bear the thought of ripping it out. If the yarn doesn't arrive soon though, I may have no other choice. Thanks for the idea.
