Odds and Ends

 These past few days have been spent getting things that have been

languishing around here finished.

I've had this quilt on my design wall for a couple of weeks

and have been slowly sewing it into rows. 

I woke up at 4am today (😒) and decided to get this top finished.

This is another Kaffe scrappy baby quilt.

It was dark and dreary here today,

so the color in the photos is off.

You get the gist.

 

 

I used three different black on white prints from my stash 

for the fill triangles and love how they look with the Kaffe.

I am going to leave the points on the edge and quilt it like this.

Maybe I'll be brave (or crazy) enough to bind it this way, too.

We will see how much time I want to spend on it when it

comes time to bind it.

Two of my nieces, who are sisters, are due on the same day in March.

One is having her third boy and the other is having her first child.. a daughter.

The knitting needles have been busy making baby sweaters.

Neither has been blocked yet and both are waiting for buttons.

These yarns are so soft and cuddley!

 

 

For you knitters out there....

I had to save the sleeve stitches and pick them back up after

the body was completed. I used the same size DPN's as the circular needled

used for the body, but why do the sleeve stitches look smaller?

Maybe my knitting is tighter using the DPN's?

I didn't notice this until they were finished.

:(

These two hooded baby towels have been cut out and waiting

to be made. They were both finished today, too!

It has been a productive couple of days here in my hidey hole.

Back to Dinosaur land!

Happy Quilting!
