August 2023

Here's an August recap:

Remember that quilt I finished last month that I had the top sitting around for 10,000 years without reason, well, someone mark the calendar because I am on a roll. 

I am ashamed to admit that I had another quilt, in an even sadder state of unfinished. This one had all the cutting done, but still required some piecing, and it had been sitting around even longer than 10,000 years. Literally. Ok so! I finished piecing! Most (almost all) of the fabric used for this quilt was from stash or leftover scraps. The pattern I used is called Triangularity by Jeni Baker. 

Every month or couple months, I look very forward to catching up with Arne & Carlos and all of their adventures and shenanigans, seriously, if I am in a less than sunshiney mood, these two can have me hitting replay and gut laughing in minutes, I absolutely adore them. Anyway, I felt inspired to knit one of their patterns and try out the famous Norwegian yarn, and so I purchased the Redd Barna Unisex Jumper and knit this in Rowan wool and simply chose the (near) same colours that was in their original design. This month, I got a good start on that sweater.

I found myself with some waiting time this month and so cast on a new pair of socks in fun summery colours and since it was so hot, felt to make a pair of shorties for summer. 

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
