I worked until 1pm today so I had some time in the afternoon to get a few things done. I'm just about done knitting this shawl. It is called Cinder. It's from Jen Lucas' book called Sock-Yarn Shawls II. I actually skipped a few rows at the end. I thought I had enough yarn but it looked like I wasn't going to be able to finish it. I'm so happy that I don't have to rip out any rows. It's so hard to rip out rows and know exactly where you are when knitting lace rows. Skipping a few rows was a much better solution. I'll post pictures once this shawl is blocked.
I pieced the backing for one of my quilt tops. I had originally bought this fabric for another project. I think it will look great on the back of this quilt.
I think any backing would look good with this scrap quilt. There are so many different fabrics that make up this top. I finally figured out how to quilt it. This step always seems to take me so long!! I'll post pictures when I have some of the quilting done!
Making the most of your time, as usual. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou picked a nice fabric for the quilt back.
Trying to find a little time whenever I can! I'm glad you like the backing. I bought it with you at Fabric Extravaganza a few years ago.
DeleteLove your shawl--beautiful color--I have to get back to mine (Yowza #3) soon; and your finished 9-patch is lovely--great backing fabric--love those kinds of prints...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! So glad the shawl is done. So worried I would run out of yarn!
DeleteLove your scrappy quilt and the backing fabric is perfect. Beautiful shawl too.
