July 2023

This month! Ok so recap:

Finished knitting my Rainbow fish socks in an unknown yarn with my made up pattern.

I wove a scarf start to finish and used pick up sticks on my loom for the first time. There is a ton of terminology that comes with weaving and therefore things can sound really scary because the names and concepts are foreign. But after reading through the instructions from The Rogue Weaver's pattern Easy Waffle Weave Scarf, I felt confident I could do it, and I was right! 

Seriously, if you are having any trouble or want to dip your toes into weaving and have access to a rigid heddle loom, I highly highly recommend The Rogue Weaver and she has so many patterns to chose from that I'm certain you will find something that appeals to you. Bonus, she sometimes offers online classes and in house classes (if you live in her area). 

And the big news is that approximately 10,000 years ago, I made a quilt top called The Good Old Hockey Game by KristaOCD and for reasons I don't understand, I never got around to taking it any further. Not drumroll, I managed to sandwich and quilt and knock this quilt out in two days! So, that felt really really good, and I made a little human very happy!

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
