Updates:
Knitting - The cardi sweater (I named 'Cole') is completed -- last seen ready for sew up:
Knit from Madeline Tosh Merino Light, color way 'Grapefruit' |
The table runner is pieced and marked for quilting (once my quilting extension table comes in at the local sewing machine shop).
Other Activity: I created a new line of spring-summer weight accessory scarves, which are available at Tait's. I made two of most styles, and will put the second scarf on the KnittenKaboodle website.
I love scarves and accessories and I've been collecting suitable and wonderful fabrics for the past several years. Most fabrics are lightweight cottons or pretty and versatile knits. When selecting fabrics, I think about 'wearability' - choices that work with busy lifestyles. I also think quite a bit about selecting the edging thread colors, which is important to achieve the desired look -- blend, contrast, accent, define -- polish overall. These are created as easy to wear with cotton sweaters, denim or suede jackets, or a lightweight dress. Also great gifts!
