I've been working on Color My World. I have the tree trunks/branches all sewn on the houses. These were so quick and easy. The bias tape has a fusible backing. I ironed it on and then went to the machine and sewed down each edge. Easy peasy! The trees will be next. They sort of look like a green semicircle atop each of the pair of houses. I'll applique them by hand. I find hand applique so fast. Once the tree tops are attached, the houses all have to be sewn together into a circle. I'm not looking forward to that! I just hope they're all the correct size.
As fast as the trees have been, my knitting is slow but coming along. If you look closely, you can see my lifeline. It's about 1/2 inch below the edge of the knitting needle. As slow as it is, I do like how it's coming out. I should be a Brioche knitting expert by the time this shawl is done!
Beautiful projects!! Those houses are just amazing..you do such lovely work. That shawl looks gorgeous...and tricky, too...
