Sorry for the long delay since I last posted. I've been a bit under the weather this past week. I'm starting to feel more like myself again today and I should be right as rain soon. I've got a few different projects on the go right now, and I also finished up a few things. Here are my Mom's Mother's Day socks:
This is one of the new Knit Picks Felici Sport colours called Macaroon. Mom picked it out herself so I think she'll like them. They remind me very much of the French Macaroon cookies.
I also completed a project I've been working on for quite awhile. It was hard to photograph properly, but here it is:
The pattern is called September and I used Loops and Threads Snuggly Wuggly Baby Sport. I bought the yarn and pattern book two summer's ago when I was in Traverse City, Michigan shopping at Michael's for supplies we needed for my sister's wedding. I really like all the different colours and how they are paired up, it's cheerful and fun. Next time I do a blanket like this though I think I'll use the join-as-you-go method because sewing all these together with whipstitch was not really fun.... However, I am happy with the final outcome, so for this blanket I'm glad I did it that way.
Well, that's about it for today. I will try to be back again soon.
xoxo
Great socks for your mum! I love how the self-striping yarn does all the work.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and sweet blanket. That certainly took a lot of work.
