July 2018

This month I actually have a few things to recap. 

I started a new pair of socks which are being knit from a double knit sock blank, which means I can knit them two at a time. This sock blank was one of a kind for sure! I purchased it from Black Market wool and written across the blank among pinks and yellows, was written "I AM A F*****G UNICORN". The way it knit up was a total surprise and I love it.

So I really enjoyed working on my Onward by Shannon Cook and got it finished and blocked and it's done! There really isn't enough that can be said about how perfect the Quince & Co Honey colourway is. Is is truly gold. 

I really spent a lot of time this month ironing fabric to prepare it for cutting, then cutting out all the sizes needed for a quilt that I actually ended up purchasing a kit for. Sometimes I find it really hard to meet people's expectations when they ask me to make something, especially something that costs so much and takes up an incredible amount of my time. So in this case, by purchasing a kit, I was able to get approval beforehand to hopefully avoid disappointment, after going through all the steps to make the quilt. This will be a queen size quilt and all the fabrics in the quilt are coordinating batiks.
So now that the cutting is done, it's time for me to get sewing.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
