PLEASANT PURSUITS!

Two quilts are off the frame and now need binding.
The next top is  loaded and quilting has begun.
I made quite a few more of the string blocks;  I am finally 3/4 of the way through the number needed!
Lena helped me close out the day yesterday as I worked on the second rendition of the Barcelona Memory Sock.  It worked much better in just one color and I am liking the pointier needles.  I am close to the finish of this cuff-it is knit vertically while joining as you go.  Thoroughly enjoyable and nice to 'get it' finally!  Lots of new techniques with this pattern!

    Beautiful quilts—have fun with the binding; it finishes off the work so nicely... I really enjoy doing it myself these days.
    The technique you use to finish off the socks looks very interesting.
    Best regards.

    Don't you just love a day that you can get that much accomplished? I always sleep better when I can tick off a lot of boxes.

    The top of the frame looks so cheerful!
    You are so lucky to have a Lena to keep you on your goals
