I found some free time this past weekend to sew up another quilt top! This is <a href="https://www.purplepineapplestudio.com/shop">I-Beams by Purple Pineapple Studio</a>. I found this pattern at my local fabric shop and loved that it used only 1 fat quarter/beam. The background was quite a bit of yardage, but I certainly got a lot out of each of the six fat quarters!<br />
<br />
This was also the first time that I selected the colors/patterns myself. In hindsight, I think that I could have gone with at least one more bold (darker gray? tan?) color between the coral and multi-color far left beam. I am learning!<br />
<br />
I hope to drop this top and the batik top off with my quilter later this spring - I'm excited to be building up a nice stack of homemade quilts for our family. When these last two are complete, it will bring the grand total up to 6! I figure I will need at least 3-4 more so I won't miss them so much when the girls take one with them as they grow older.

One of our local craft stores is going out of business later this spring. I am sad about this and have been stopping in to pick up a skein of sock yarn here and there while I still can. What I loved about this yarn store was the huge selection of yarns! They carried yarns from most of the big companies, but also many local Wisconsin producers and small batch dyers too.<br />
<br />
This is "Once More with Feeling" by <a href="https://www.brewcityyarns.com/">Brew City Yarns</a>, knit up in the <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hermiones-everyday-socks">Hermione Everyday Socks</a> pattern.<br />

As you can see, I was still working this sock with DPN's - maybe I'll give the second sock a try with two circulars?Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03410086655098368085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920041393673316497.post-16416681323405048942020-02-16T09:40:00.000-06:002020-03-05T07:26:00.356-06:00From the toe up<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

One of my New Years resolutions was to learn how to knit a sock from the toe up (with a bonus of learning how to knit a sock using two circular needles). I'm proud to report that I have tackled this project and also learned Judy's magic cast-on.</div>

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Socks-Toe-Up-Essential-Techniques/dp/0307449440">This book</a> has been a huge help, and I am following the ribbed ribbon lace pattern for this first pair. The yarn is "The Upside Down" by Leading Men Fiber Arts - I love that I am learning how to knit this pair of socks "upside down!"</div>

I have been playing around with different circular needle lengths too - I found 9-inch to be too short, 16-inch to be comfortable, but a bit unwieldy, and 12-inch to be about perfect. I am enjoying these 12-inch driftwood needles by <a href="http://www.lykkecrafts.com/">Lykke</a> for the time being.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03410086655098368085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920041393673316497.post-85997070875371683982020-01-31T09:42:00.000-06:002020-03-05T07:11:04.961-06:00Milet mittens<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

These gorgeous <a href="https://ysolda.com/collections/hands-feet/products/milet">mittens and kit</a> were a Christmas present to myself. I LOVE how these turned out. As with most of my mittens, I lined these with cashmere from a thrifted sweater. They are perfect for the 10-25F degree days we've been having this winter. It's been comparatively mild so far this winter.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03410086655098368085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920041393673316497.post-5456184858236751112019-12-30T09:43:00.000-06:002020-03-05T07:08:20.863-06:00Christmas Socks (for me!)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

During that same trip to the craft store, I was inspired to knit up a pair of holiday socks for myself. I did the striping with two different yarns and worked on making jogless stripes. I also learned how to make clean stripes while knitting rib stitches. Pretty cool! </div>

With the exception of mis-matched toes (one is two rows longer than the other), I think they turned out really well. I'm not sure how that happened (probably just not paying attention) but once they are nice and worn in, it won't even matter.</div>

My youngest daughter got to complaining about not having any hand knit socks since she grew out of her last pair. I picked up this super wash yarn at the local craft shop and knit up this pair for her in secret, mostly after she went to bed in the evenings. I finished them in time to wrap them up and put them under the tree for her. She's going to be surprised - and they'll be perfect for the ice skating and sledding yet to come.</div>

Here are the holiday socks for my husband for 2019. Each year I knit him a pair and tuck them in his stocking. This year I went with Felici yarn from KnitPicks in Stormy Sky. They turned out great! These were done in late October, but the photos were added in early 2020.</div>

When I showed them to one of my daughters she remarked, "they look just like his other ones." True, true (but not really). He does love brown, navy and gray and all of his socks have been one of those colors, so she has a point.

I was so excited coming off the flannel quilt that I immediately got to cutting another quilt top, this time in brown batiks. Since I really struggle with selecting fabrics and patterns, but love to sew, quilt kits - and a good relationship with a local long-arm quilter - are what allow me to continue down the path of creating beautiful and functional pieces for our family.<br />
<br />
This one is a discontinued boundless batiks kit from bluprint. I love the way it is coming together!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03410086655098368085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920041393673316497.post-15461950947552782492019-04-29T16:43:00.000-05:002020-02-28T16:48:49.724-06:00Flannel Quilt - quilted and bound<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

What an absolutely lovely quilt. I am so happy with how this one turned out - and it came back to me in February, right when we need some respite from the gray and white snowscapes all around us. </div>

Never used one of these before, but a hole in the bottom my my husbands sock meant I had to try. I think it went pretty well - I opted for the woven technique since the edges were pretty frayed. The repair has been holding up nicely and doesn't seem to bother him too much - success!<br />

I started these back in the fall and finished one sock. I had just completed the first cable sock for my husband and needed a quick break. But that meant that the second sock waited until I finished the second cabled sock.<br />
<br />
But not matter - I finished it up today while waiting at the orthodontist for the twins to have their braces tightened.<br />

I surprised myself with some extra time this holiday break and cut and sewed another quilt top! This one is made of mostly blue flannels and was a joy to cut and assemble.<br />

This is another quilt kit - my preferred way to sew quilt tops these days - this time from Bluprint (Craftsy). It is the <a href="https://shop.mybluprint.com/quilting/kits/marcus-fabrics-blue-boxes-flannel-quilt-kit/581530">Marcus Fabrics Blue Boxes Flannel Quilt Kit</a>.<br />
<br />
I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews. Lots of folks talked about crooked prints and running out of fabric. I had just enough and not much to spare (I didn't run out) and I also wasn't too bothered by prints not lining up exactly. I can see how this might annoy some quilters, but I am not a perfectionist. I am more of the 'let's see if we can even pull this off' kind of sewer - so I was thrilled with the final result.<br />

This sweet pair of mittens is off to a fourth grade friend. I have made a couple pairs for her mom over the years and she always takes them during our cold winter months to warm her hands. So her mom asked if I would make a pair just for her.<br />
<br />
These are slightly different - they don't have the rolled cuff - but they are buttery soft with purple lambswool on the palms and polar fleece linings. I used the ribbed edges of the sweaters for all the pieces so they were already nicely finished at the lower edges.<br />
<br />
I used upcycled silver buttons from the original thrifted vest to keep the two layers together. They add a nice surprise and fancy touch I think.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03410086655098368085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920041393673316497.post-33837805504132384702018-11-18T07:01:00.000-06:002018-11-26T14:36:55.478-06:00Socks for Daughter #3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Just in time for the holidays! I got my quilt back from Heather and hand stitched the binding down. What a fun addition to our living room this winter. And as my daughter says, "Quilts are in heavy rotation in our house during the winter - we can always use another one!"<br />

Here's the start of the holiday socks for my husband. Some lovely cables with a grey super wash yarn from KnitPicks. They are a bit on a thick side for socks, but he's going to love them!<br />

It's that time of year again. On the needles are a new pair for my husband, with a pair for my 11yo in the queue. She picked the cream yarn with black flecks. She said, "I wonder if it will look like a piece of music when it's all knit up?" What a cool question.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03410086655098368085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920041393673316497.post-77434844069550213112018-08-19T16:37:00.000-05:002018-10-10T08:56:53.563-05:00Holiday Quilt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

During some vacation time from work I was finally able to do the assembly for this whimsical holiday quilt. I <a href="https://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/outofstock/73325/moda-fabrics/gingiber/merrily-kit">purchased the kit last year</a> and did most of the cutting. Then it sat until this year when I was able to assemble the blocks and put the whole top together.</div>
