There's no question that life has been busy since the school year started; it has been three weeks between posts!Nevertheless, I have found a few moments to get those needles clicking, and yesterday I completed this scarf for myself. Now the snow may fly, and I'll be ready!
I can feel that summer is over now, because I packed up most of my quilting materials and took out an unfinished knitting project. I started this angora scarf last winter but put it away when spring arrived, as a winter accessory just didn't feel relevant right then. Now that the autumn fogs are starting to roll in again, though, I've picked up the scarf again. It's done in a "seed stitch," and is meant to go with my royal blue winter coat.
In addition, I sewed a personalized gym bag for Jon this evening....he'll need one now that he's starting Grade 4. I don't think there's any danger of him misplacing this one!
The girls couldn't stop sewing, so they've created their own rag quilts: Jenna for her Webkin named Snow and Caslin for her Horsie. There's Jon as well with his blanket for Turtwig. He was busy building a huge K'nex roller coaster while the girls were stitching (and clipping!).
I had Jon, Caslin, and Jenna each make their own nine patch today to form the tops of pillows; they had a lot of fun doing it and were amazingly handy with the sewing machine. I'm trying to pass along my quilting bug, and it seems to be working!
My son, Jon, and his friend, Adam, are very fond of their Turtwigs and, more recently, Wall-E. When I found some Wall-E fabric on my latest excursion to the US, I couldn't resist making a small blanket for the Turtwigs. Jon was pleased! I'll be making one for Adam to take home as well...
At last - the finished product! I'm not sure what's coming next, but I'm delighted to have this one done before I head back to work tomorrow.
