Well today’s sewing is going much better than yesterday’s! Thank goodness! Time for a coffee break.
I restarted with the black print and I like the block so much better. So it’s a good thing I kept messing things up I guess. I can’t show you the blocks yet bu these are the other fabrics I’m using with it.
The red orange is a bit darker but it has lighter splotches and sort of a brownish black that sort of look like some one dry brushed paint over it. The gray is one of my current favorite tone on tones – it doesn’t show up real well in the photo but its a paisly tone on tone. And the black has tone on tone specks of black and lighter grayish looking ones.
One block is done and the rest are in various stages and 3 or 4 others in various stages.
I did venture outside to run an errand since the temps who hooo its a heat wave – 29 degrees. But foggy and misty and the winds were picking up as I came home so not really a great day but warmer than it has been.
I nearly have the socks – the brown/cream/purple ones from the single sock stash – nearly finished. I think I must be just a row or two away from the toe decreases so should hopefully get them finished off tonight. So need to wind that pink yarn so I can start on that one to work on at home and cast on the second ombre one to work on during my bus ride.
Oh and check out the Granny’s Hankie blocks by readers page – I finally remembered to add Sigrid’s photo of all her completed blocks. They turned out absolutely lovely!
