Have been crafting….

Although it’s been a while, I have been keeping up menu planning and things have been ticking over in the sewing room…

finished 9 patch quilt - this sprinted out of the blocks but took its time getting around the course:

 Princess dress - my kids are petite and many of our dress ups don’t fit the girl’s friends.

Knitting - three years ago, I started a scarf in that dreaded feather yarn - it took me two years to finish, is totally uneven with a few holes and left some serious dents in my knitting confidence.  When my Mum was here recently, I thought I’d give it another go - (this wool from spotlight, I have just used plain stitch but the wool makes it interesting.)  Finished.  In much less time than my last tragic effort.

And finally, Judy at Perle 8’s spent some time and patience recently and guided me into the land of granny squares.  Haven’t had the time to get obsessed but I can see why people are ‘hooked’….
