Moving Forward

Well I have put the "D" quilt away for now and have decided to work on the five year scarf? I am determined to finish the scarf and am looking forward to wearing it next winter. Here is the pattern in case anyone would like to give it a try. It is not hard you just need to pay attention.
So on August 4, 2011 I will be flying to Greece for 9 days. I am very excited and am a little nervous I have never traveled to Europe. I have the Frommer's Athens book and am planning how to spend the 4 days in Athens. I have been told that it is a 9 hour flight so am a little nervous. Any travel tips or pointers would be great.

Sunshine and Flowers!

Well we are so happy in southwestern Ontario to finally see the sun!! I thought I would post another flower that I have created for the "D" quilt. I was also able to find some awesome fabrics today that will also get made into flowers. Maybe I will have to schedule a quilting bee to get this project moving along a little quicker.

April Showers and All That

I have jumped into a new project. My mother is a quilter and has shared her love of crafts and busy hands with me. I love the feel of fabric and have decided to work on a "D" quilt. The quilt top will be completely sewn by hand - a huge undertaking and will be created by 3o flowers. My goal was 3 flowers a week but that may have been a little to ambitious. I have been enjoying trips to a variety of fabric stores to sift through remnants and deciding on colour combinations. These are a of pics of the flowers I have been working on.

Knitter's Frolic

Today has been a great day. A trip to Toronta with a group of great friends to the Knitting Frolic, lunch at The Tea House on the patio, shopping at a giant yarn store and ice cream for dinner. The perfect day!
I bought a new pattern and yarn at the frolic that will grow up and be a scarf!

Sock Saks

I have been goggling over some wonderful knitting bags and was determined to whip some up. This is one that I love and think that it will be perfect for knitting socks. I love the pocket that can hold bits and bobs. I chose two green prints that are so pretty - the fabric was from Fabric Land called Bijou Garden.
Here is a picture...enjoy.

Spring Green Baby Blanket

So this weekend I decided to change it up a bit and try something new - a baby blanket. The pattern is one that I found online and can be found here http://majorknitter.typepad.com/photos/patterns/oh_so_soft_baby_blanket.html
Here is a pic of the project so far!!
