Caslin's Blanket Project

Last night I helped Caslin create a new blanket for herself - one to replace her falling-apart-favourite baby blanket. She had fun doing her first ever ironing and quilt tying.




We chose a nice vine stitch for the blanket binding........













And here she is at home, happy with the results!

Chenille Scarf

My crafting efforts haved slowed down considerably over the last couple months - too much going on in the other parts of life! Here's a chenille scarf I've been puttering away on, mostly while we're out at the cabin. Although it's difficult to see, I'm doing this is a small basketweave stitch...I really like the texture of this material!
