A Few More Finished Items


A pair of generic 3*1 rib socks for me.
Blue Moon STR lightweight
color Spring Fling
64 stitches flap heel
I love these socks. They really fit well.
I don't use a particular pattern. I used a basic sock pattern with 64 stitches and did a K3P1 rib instead of stockinette.
Three hats for Texas Children's hospital. I love making these little hats. They are my need to finish something item lately. The two striped hats are made with Knitcol yarn from Adriafil. The pink hat is a Knit Picks cotton blend.
I am still working on Casablanca but I am hopelessly behind. I am on clue 4 and the current clue is clue 6. Oh well, I love it and I will just finish in my own time frame. I hope you all are having a great week.

Picture quality is terrible, but here are the two pin cushions I made for the swap on Ravelry. I hope Beverly enjoys.

Judy L Star Quilt Along

Here are my fabric choices for the star quilt along with Judy L. The only fabric I am not totally sure about is the background. I can't wait to get started.

Long Time No Post

Life has just been crazy (and I have been lazy). I was going to post several times but of course I could not find the card reader to upload my photos. I have been knitting some and quilting some. A few pictures of what I have been working on.

Casablanca KAL This is after Clue 2. I am almost done with clue 3 I decided to make it longer.
Amandajean's Star Quilt Along This is nine of the blocks. I have finished 11 blocks and 6 setting blocks.
This was my  Batik Block of the Month. I am waiting on the finishing kit.
This is Block 1 of the Mystery Designer block of the month from Fat Quarter Shop.

I will be posting some more finished projects in the next few days. 
Hope y'all have a great week.

Fun Stuff

you are lemonchiffon
#FFFACD

Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling".

Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

I found this on Tammy's blog and thought it would be fun to play. I don't know about lemonchiffon but red and green are my favorite colors.

MEME

I was tagged by one of the most clever and quick witted women I have ever met, my friend, Convoluted String for this!

“The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.”
