Nightmares From Down Under

Nightmare-1

Nightmare-2

Poor kid!

 

Hi! I'm Vicki. I began blogging at knitorious in 2004! I knit, sew, dye, garden, and cook. I'm a daughter, sister, aunt, wife, mother, and grandmother!

It occurred to me after the fact (of course) that this might have been an instance to overlook the potential bulk of a straight seam and just make these joins horizontally. 😜 This baby grew by 3” in each direction over the weekend. Next, another 6 (or maybe 8). Farfalle cardigan is shaping up! I’m closing in on the back. Slow… everything I’m doing seems to be going slow, but going. 🙂 S’mores time. 🔥❤️ Spring things. 💜💕💚 The top is sewn together, but I’m still working out the border situation. The is a really rough mock up (of the whole thing), and about the 4th variation… I think I like it. Need to work out details (like measurements 📐)! Carry on. Lilac season. ❤️ It’s all in one piece!! I did it! Borders to determine/do yet, but I am CHUFFED!! Wow. This is the Simply Sampled quilt pattern (+ a few blocks) by In Color Order, a skill-building sampler quilt - and is it ever! I learned so much. Other than the sashing, all the fabric is Kaffe Fassett & Kaffe Fassett Collective from Free Spirit, fat quarters picked up here & there, from Herschnerr’s to Modern Daily Knitting & several points in between. The women at D’Sewist Quilt Shop & More were incredibly helpful - a big shout to Laurie, who taught the class, and all of my classmates. ❤️ Things are progressing. All of the wallpaper is gone (though there still some glue), and painting has commenced. The area around the tub needs to be finished by Monday… the rest can wait until the tub refinisher’s done his thing.
