Quilting? or Knitting?

Or both?  Both, I do believe!          

I have made good on my commitment to myself to make real progress on Grandbebe the Third’s quilt.  That is good.  Because Dearest Sister is about done with her part of Grandbebe the Fourth’s, and just asked the question about how long do we suppose we have before the next?  Which, to my mind, she is saying…do you think we should start planning another?


And that freaks me out just a little bit.  While I have made good progress on this third quilt, over half remains to be quilted! Then it will need to be bound.  While we have the fabric for the fourth, it will need to be cut into nine patches, and in-betweens, and all that, and sewn, and sewn, and more sewing, then the basting, and then the quilting!


Please no!  No fifth quilt just yet…just a brief respite…

But on the other hand...this red and blue fabric does look mighty enticing!


While the quilting has been going on in the evening, during lunch at work, there has been some knitting.


Short-row scarf (rav link), of my handspun hand dyed Corriedale.  I tried to initially dye this shades of yellow, but it turned out pretty muddy, so I overdyed with a bit of teal, and got this variegation of grass green.  A very nice color to knit with during those sub-zero temps we had last week.

(Now I am knitting on a hat of mystery...)

The blues do go very nicely together. I've got a fat quarter I got for free on my last order that would go perfect with your blues! I should send it up your way!

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
