Pattern:
Alveare by Wooly Wormhead
Yarn: Madelinetosh worsted, colorway Baltic
Needles: 6 and 7
Comments: This pattern is similar to the Noro hat and is easy and fast to knit. I used worsted weight with the same needles, making the medium and it fits well.
Handspun 2ply, wool and silk. It is quite soft and has a nice sheen. I only had enough to make a short cowl.
Pattern:
Fields of Ranunculus.I used a size 10 needle and repeated the lacy rows 6 times.
Handspun, 2 ply, Dyed Cotswold-Romney mix purchased at
SAFF. I was going for a bulky-worsted. The fiber was very curly and long and I realize now I could have prepped it some more instead of spinning in the short cuts and
neps. No doubt this will be knit into a critter, or maybe a felted bowl. I do love the color and it was a fun experience to spin.
Stash Quilt Table Topper 2
Pattern Idea:
Patchwork Heart and
Disappearing Nine Patch I got brave enough to try out some free motion quilting in the borders and blocks. I definitely will need more practice.
I am quite inspired by
Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Project. She makes it look so easy.

Love the hat. Lovely handspun and cowl. FMQ gets easier but still nerve wracking trying to tell your quilt where you want the stitching ;)
