Well, it's been a long while since my last post. I've done lots of crafting, but not a lot of posting! I've joined A Sentimental Quilter's April quilt-a-long and am very happy so far. It has taken a lot longer than I expected to get these little blocks together. There's a real art to getting scrappy blocks looking good and Kathleen Tracy is a genius. I have all her books and love her small quilts to bits.
These fingerless gloves are bit of a frankenstein - cuffs from Nancy Bush's 'Norwegian Gloves', some stripes to my own design, meshed together using an old Patons glove pattern. They've turned out ok, but I don't like the colours now they're knitted up. I'd definitely make them again - in different colours.
I wrote out the pattern as a pdf, so it'll be easy to replicate them. I'm not sure about posting it as a freebie because I've re-used the cuff from someone else's pattern. I learned a lot writing up the pattern and would definitely like to publish something original in the future.
And finally a beanie for my brother's birthday. I love the way the greens and blues and greys meld together. I wasn't sure about the colour combination when I started, but love the result.
