Most of us are soooooooo ready for spring, so, of course, I need to do some spring knitting.
I ordered
this yarn from Loopy Ewe and waited to see if the yarn would come directly to me or travel around the country first [like the yarn I ordered from Craftsy]. This yarn arrived in two days via USPS--no side trips at all. This yarn is from their Seasonings line, perfectly titled Spring Blooms. I've started casting on...and then...I remembered that I want to make toes, heels, and probably cuffs from the 100 yard skein of pink. Okay, now I get to rip out and start over--and because I'm getting sidetracked with this project, I'm also still trying to decide what to do for the next border of the
Jenny Doan Flower Garden Quilt.
I arrived home in time to watch NBC Evening news Tuesday night and was delighted to see the
lovely story about the
Missouri Star Quilt Company and how the hard work of this one family has transformed their little town of Hamilton, MO. This family and their employees are such a wonderful example of hard work and dedication paying off--and of people who remain "real" instead of letting success go to their heads.
Weather report: We are absolutely thrilled to be getting a tiny bit of rain! Of course, it's not enough to be measured even in hundredths of inches--but it's enough to be sorely appreciated!
Happy quiltmaking, happy knitting.......
I love the variegated yarn. Fun and bright. I too, want this winter to be over (said as it is snowing again here). I caught the video of MSQC online. I have several charm packs that I want to use to make the flower garden quilt. I'll be cutting the corner squares later this week. That is what I'll be stitching on my machines at my quilt show.
ReplyDeleteI love the variegated yarn. did you use a ball winder to make the center pull balls?
ReplyDeleteLove that yarn! The colors are so spring! Your socks sounds very interesting! Can't wait to see them!
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is going to make some yummy socks !
ReplyDeleteI'm about to finish a pair in a springy green,yellow,while combination ! Just plain stockinette, but since I'm wearing out several pairs from years ago, these will be a timely finish.
Praise God for the rain !
