Baby Boy Quilt 1


Deciding on which fabric to use for the quilt. My plan was to sort out all the quilts to be made, but I focused on just one, which I regret now because I don't have the luxury of space at my own place.

The colour combo has been chosen, it wasn't difficult because most of it was from a set.

I've decided to go modern with this one, because it required less cutting and will give me time to work on the other quilts this summer/fall.

Woven Scarf No.3




I thought that I had mastered the set-up on my Knitter's Loom, but I found myself having to refer to the instructions around three or four times. Oddly enough, some steps felt as though I was doing them for the first time! Was I doing my usual skimming the first two times? For this scarf I am using a wonderful buttery yellow wool from Uruguay, and a handspun multi colour skein that I bought off ebay (which I must add, the colours were not even close to what the image looked like on the posting). However I am happy that I am finally able to use it for something, and I had exactly 1 foot left over once I threaded the loom....phewwwwwww!
