Return to Square One Medallion

I want to share my progress on my Medallion Mystery Quilt.  The final step was posted today by Judy.  I will add the final borders later this week.

It was too large for my design wall.  It will fit nicely on a king sized bed.

Getting it Done November

Not as productive as I would have liked but I did knit a charity hat.  Hopefully my December list will be more manageable.

I like organizing my plans for the month even if I don't complete the tasks.  It helps me set goals and keeps me focused.

Yarn report Week 47

Not much knitting or anything else other cooking this week.  But that will change next week.  I spent a lovely morning with my coffee and the Eat Sleep Knit site.  I couldn't resist the black Friday sale.  But on those purchases next week.  For this week--nothing in and nothing out.

What's on My Needles

Happy Thanksgiving.

There was very little knitting and quilting this week.  I did manage to cast on a cowl.

Hopefully I will be able to sit and knit a little this evening.   I am going to visit Judy's blog to see what others are working on.  I usually gets lots of inspiration.

Yarn Report Week 46

I have had no change in my numbers--but not for lack of trying!!!  Nothing in this week and nothing out although I did swatch some Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport.  I really, really want to make a sweater for me that will fit well.  I will tell you more about my plan in a few weeks.

I have spent a lot of time browsing my favorite online yarn shops.  There are so many yarns I want to try. I have never liked making a swatch, even though I know how important it can be.  But now I am finding it fun.  I try out the yarn before I invest a lot of money to see how I like it.

I am off to visit Judy's Yarn Report.   After I see her purchases I usually go "shopping"

Yarn Report Week 45

This has been the first week in a long, long time that I didn't purchase yarn--not that I wasn't tempted!!!

In this week:  0
Out this week:  1  (it's a start)
In YTD:  330
Out YTD: 1

I'm on a roll.

On the Needles

It has been a slow knitting week.  The brown hat I showed last week is finished and packed away for the Soup Kitchen Christmas Lunch.

I will be giving the cowl to my daughter next week.

At the moment I have been spending more time on applique.  But I will be casting on a sport weight yarn for a swatch.  I am determined to make a sweater that fits.

This is the Gap-tastic Cowl.  The yarn is Malabrigo Mecha Candombe.  The yarn was wonderful to work with.  It has a very rich luxurious feel.  I would love to use it again.
