Home







Three weeks ago my dodgie left knee was replaced with a wiz bang state
of the art new knee. My progress so far has been beyond expectation. All through the journey my own handspun yarn has given me a quiet task to focus on. Knit a row and then another watching what will be a wrap grow. Somedays the diverson of simple garter stitch in random colors was a joyful refuge.  Hooray Hooray .... it is almost the length of a knee rug so I am enjoying the snuggley goodness of a hand made burst of color.

The beautiful roses lasted and lasted another simple gift of beauty.

Lots of knitting to in between a bit of rehap to strengthen me so I get too good friends with my new left knee.

Have a good week. Terry

A Little Quilt

I've been pulling colourful scraps for a modern baby quilt.


 


25 Nine Patch blocks with the same center were cut in to




Lots of smaller blocks



100 smaller blocks ready to be layed out.




The top was assembled and simple diagonal quilting.





The pattern was quick to work with and produced great visual results. I enjoyed the straightforward stitchig and the bright quilt.

My grand children still use their "blankies" for movie nights and just Snuggling.  It always makes me happy to share.

Wishing you all a good week.  Terry
