Summer's Almost Gone

Wow, I have been way lax on blogging this last month! I've completed several substantial projects, a baby blanket for a missionary couple who just adopted a baby boy, Abraham. It's made with Sinfonia 100% Mercerized cotton. Each color was assigned a number and my daughter rolled a die to determine which color to use next and how many rows of that color. It was a fun project. Done it a week, I think it was the quickest substantial project I've ever done.

The other was the blanket for my husband that I started in May. Definitely the biggest project I've ever done!!! I think there were about a hundred ends to weave in, maybe more. Sure glad I did them as I went. I used the majority of six different colors/cones of Peaches and Creme cotton. He chose the fiber, I chose the colors with his stipulation "it has to be bright, psychedelic." The colors are a bit brighter than the picture shows.It was definitely a summer of bright colors.

And the last project of the summer (insert picture here soon!) is a dress I made for my daughter for her first day of school. Again Sinfonia (there was a huge clearance sale in July!!) in Tourquoise using a Drops Design pattern. She opted to not put the contrasting detail on it. I really liked the look of it when it was done but it seemed to stretch a bit as she wore it ... I am considering lining it.

Until next time, God bless your stitches!!
