Slow Going Process

That's about how my day is going. I have made progress, but nothing that stands out directly. I have been needing to do a lot of prepping, so today is the day. All of my En Provence blocks needed trimming. Yeah done. It's a amazing how just sliver can make a block look so much better.














Next I needed to doing something about my yellow blocks.












 I decided to switch out the large flowers I had for a solid yellow .
















Score! So much better!









I also prepped by first bag lady, but that's as far as I got with that. I decided that I want to do some big stitch quilting on my power of the sewing machine embroidery that I recently finished. I spent sometime deciding what to do with that. I have watched several videos and really like one in particular. Here's a video link to her youtube. I'm thinking some simple cross hatching and such.

I'm also going to do Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year. This month's colors are purple. Boy do I have purple! Lot's a purple! However, I do plan to do some little pigs and baskets, but more on that later in the week.

It is amazing what a difference a little slice of fabric can make. I trim all my HSTs and the accuracy increases.

More Than Half

That's kind of where I am in my knitting recently. I have spent a lot of time spinning lately and definitely not as much knitting. I would love to say I am a process kinda girl, but that would be a lie and lightening will strike! I do love the process, but I like the finished version much better. I have a hard time when I get near the end of any project knitting or spinning and I just want to see what it is really going to look like. Right now I have two things on my needles that are in that spot. One more so than the other because its a sock and its the second one. I had about 3 inches completed on Sunday and as of now the heel is turned and the gusset stitches are almost done. The other is a stole that I am working on for a dear couple's wedding. The wedding is not until October, but the pattern is so pretty I just keep knitting and knitting. I am half way done with it. Its turning out lovely, but I want to finish it before school starts up and life becomes busy again. I have...

Wednesday Update

Like the title? Yeah I know everyone uses it, but it does perk up your attention! I said I would have pictures of my knitting. I wanted to block the Teal sweater before I took pictures of it. I love it. The sleeves are suppose to be longish and I like that sometimes. It fits well with the funnel neck. Its so soft and it blocked out very nicely. Note very favorite coffee mug. The next two are the only wips I have right now. I am really going to try and finish one of the socks and have a healthy start on the second before I start something else. Surely I can stick to that, sigh. Those of you who truly know me know not to take that bet! Clapote is plugging along nicely. I am have half through and I absolutely love the color. Note its cloudy and it has rained for 2 flippin' days here is St. Louis, so the colors do not look to good. What have you been up to?

Kauni KAL

Image
Friday night I went to Knitorious for the Kauni KAL. I have the dreaded cardi that I keep working through. Thanks to Annie, I was able to figure out how to make the front look right. I think it will be just fine. I love the rainbow color and how the colors go together. On to the sleeve and then the front. Almost done. Also I started on a 2nd one, but I will use a different pattern. I show you pics when I get a little further.
