Knitting and Tie Blocks

With things being rather chaotic and MESSY

at my house,

I've been knitting more in the evenings.

It doesn't add to the mess that's already here.

After I'm finished for the night,

the project goes back into the bag

and clean up is done.

I started knitting this shawl with just one strand of yarn

and quickly realized that it would not work.

It was torn out and I started knitting with two strands.

This is much better!

 

 The cable and decorative stitching going down the side

are easy and fun to knit.

I think I'm about half way finished with this one.

Here is the link to this shawl pattern,

Anisah. 

On one of our trips,

I started knitting a pair of purple socks for my older daughter

with the tiny feet.

These are purple and gray,

but it's dreary here today, 

so the colors aren't showing in the photo.

 

This week I've been able to make more of the

Flying Geese blocks from the

recycled neck ties.

 

This quilt is coming together nicely!

 This will not be the final layout.

As the blocks get finished,

they are added to the design wall.

 

My friend had a couple of fun ties

and this was one of them.

Happy Friday

and

Happy Quilting!

(or knitting!)
