August 2013

August has come and gone.  My recap goes like this:

Finished knitting my Seaweed Socks by Wendy D. Johnson, from the book Socks from the Toe-up.

Cast on a new pair of socks. This yarn is extremely pleasing and it's my first time using yarn with some ★ glitter ★. I am attempted an asymmetrical toe for fun.

Finished knitting the first Horatio and Oren mitten by Barbara Gregory

Completed the Summer Stich-A-Long with Wild Olive and the project is seriously the cutest.

Started on a Hitchhiker!

Used Wild Olive's generous free template to embroider a flour sack tea towel. This really brings me joy and brightens up my kitchen.

My mom request that I make a quilt for my uncle. I think, to go more masculine for this one, I ended up purchasing a flannel fat quarter bundle and used a tutorial to create these gorgeous bear paw blocks. Since I had some cutoff scraps, I decided to add sashing and cornerstones and completed the entire top of this quilt. I think it turned out awesome and I am pleased as punch.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
