Sometimes the best you can do is to just keep moving in the general direction of where you want to end up. Then the next thing you notice you are already well on your way to a pile of stuff that somehow managed to get done.
I attempted to start my latest finished shawl on our holiday road trip. And while its well written its spread across a few charts and as someone that sometimes has eyes wander in a chart, it was put on hold. But I’m happy to say my first project with Stellina (aka sparkles) is complete.
The pattern is called Weirwood Tree. I suppose a more dedicated knitter than I would have knit it up in white and then hand dye-painted each leaf that burgundy/magenta of its namesake.
Also on the knitting front, its approaching Sock Madness time, and yet I managed to plan out extra socks to make, and even finished a pair for Ben, who has since decided he actually likes hand knit socks. And I churned out a brioche cowl for a KAL this month too.
And last but not least I said I wanted to make 5 quilts this year… so I managed to put together another quilt top (I have the backing and binding fabric for this already)
Yes, it is a Christmas Throw Quilt. No, I don’t have plans for it other than to make it. The design is called a Four Patch Lattice and goes together rather quickly.
Next Up: Expect a bunch more socks, Maybe a sweater, and I should probably get around to quilting one of these quilts…..
