Here’s a terrific project that I started awhile ago. This is Fantasy Naturalle Cotton Yarn that I originally purchased to make a sweater and then really thought the colors were too pastel. So the yarn got put in the supply closet at least 4 years ago. Last summer, I decided to try the traditional diagonal… Continue reading Another Knitting Project in Progress too long!

Today I sewed together another fabric grocery bag from fabric that I have in my studio. Also, I had some nice wooden handles and so I used those too. This journey is shaping up. Every day, I discover great items in my studio just waiting to be turned into beautiful, useful projects. What’s turning into… Continue reading Setting Priorities & Continued Progress

This has been a terrific week for my projects. I finished the baby sweater. It really came out better than I expected. I do love the yarn but I had my doubts about the pattern. But it was so easy. The sweater is knit in one piece from the neck down. Although it calls for… Continue reading Fabric Grocery Bag, Baby Sweater, and 3 more Dishcloths

I ended up buying yarn for two projects this week and yes, I’ve started both of them. This along with my continued progress on the dishcloths and a second shrug. Really got a little off track this week. The first project is a baby bunting that I’ve been wanting to make for awhile. I just… Continue reading New Yarn and New project

I did an inventory of my finished dishcloths. There are 22. So, I have 78 to go to reach my goal of 100. I know now that I have plenty of cotton yarn to reach my goal. I’m not sure what I’ll make with the yarn after I finish 100 cloths. Maybe I’ll start on… Continue reading Total 22 and a New YARN

Here it is!. I’m really excited about this. It’s great for trips to the grocery store. I still have to attach the handles (also from my supplies on hand). It’s made from using more of the cotton yarn that I have. First I made front and then picked up stitches along the edge for sides… Continue reading My Knit Grocery Bag

The shopping bag that I’m knitting with the cotton yarn is coming out great! It is taking a bit longer than I hoped but it will be a good size when done. I’m about 3/4’s done. I also found wooden handles in my studio and some plastic ones. So again I can use what I’ve… Continue reading Shopping Bag Still in Progress

It’s been a busy week. I’ve worn my new shrug a lot. To work with a pair of slacks and a tank top, and all weekend when I went shopping. It’s great when the air conditioning is just a little to cool for bare shoulders. Here’s a photo. I also finally sewed together this summer… Continue reading The Shrug, A Poncho and 3 Dishcloths FINISHED!

I’m so pleased! I finished the cotton and silk shrug in less than two weeks and still managed to finish a dishcloth and start another. This is the fastest I’ve finished a project in quite awhile. It fits great too. I just went through my collection of yarn and I have enough of a denim… Continue reading Shrug Finished in record time

I’ve been working steadily on the cotton shrug. I only have the second shoulder and short sleeve to complete. At this rate, I should have it done on Saturday. I think I’ll make a second one. I have yarn in my stash that will be perfect. I haven’t checked the gauge yet but I’m pretty… Continue reading Feather n Fan Finished & Shrug almost done
