on the needles…
I love thick soft cables knit from wool on wooden needles
on the small circular needles…
the beginnings of a lacy infinity scarf knit with “Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo” yarn
Progress on the orange peel quilt…171 peels so far. About half done.

Linking in with Slow Stitching Sunday and Wool on Sundays
This little set will be winging its way South tomorrow. It is a cute little car-seat size blanket and newborn hat & booties in pretty grass green that I started knitting awhile ago, before I knew Zachary was on the way.
Welcome to the family, Zachary!
I’m really moving right along with these sibling quilts! Here is quilt number two:
It measures 43″ x 30″ – a nice size for a preschooler. I was digging around in the bottom of my stash and I came up with six 6″ squares of bright cartoon jungle print that my friend Karyne had given me years and years ago and that I had totally forgotten about.
I dug out some jellyroll strips in bright primary colours, cut up a dark blue cotton pillowcase donated by Pam for the background and sewed up six wonky courthouse square blocks.
I hand tied it with red yarn and ran around the outside border with the machine. I’m pretty sure that the machine lines are a lot straighter in person than they look in the picture. And if they aren’t, well, I guess they’re just a lot like me, lol!
Don’t ya just love pictures of quilts all rolled up? I do! Something about the colours against the binding just makes me smile.
I’m linking in with Cat Patches for her New Fabric Object linky party. We’re supposed to show what we started in April. I started the project of making three quilts for three little boys. Two down, one to go!
Ciao for now!
