Finished Mīlēt mittens, taken at Tarn Hows in Cumbria.

Mitten pattern is here and the yarn is available at Ysolda’s website. I knitted these from a kit, but unfortunately these have sold out and the gold colourway has since been discontinued.

Cowl is of my own design and knitted in some Gotland lambswool and Swifter yarn which I bought in Amsterdam and some Jamiesons spindrift in Yellow Ochre

Finally at the half way point. Put this blanket on hold for about a year to work on other projects with a due date. Goal is to finish it this year. #bobsburgers #crochet #blanket #graphgan #afgan #create #thebelchers #luisebelcher #lindabelcher #fun #creative #create #makeingstuff #goals2018

not gonna lie, my first thought was that it was a new shawl pattern (and how many yarn overs did it take to make such big holes)

Greenery scrap quilt: Finishing up

So about a week and a half ago, on a bit of a whim and on a deadline, I decided I wanted to enter the Pantone Colour of the Year Quilt Challenge being hosted by Sarah of No Hats in the House and Rebecca of Bryan House Quilts.

I finished piecing and quilting it over the last week! I started with scraps - sewn together in an improvisational, unplanned way - then built these bits into larger panels…

… until I had a finished quilt top!

There were a lot of seams in this quilt - I used about 3 bobbins’ worth of thread, which seemed kind of a lot for something this small (it was about 32″ x 34″ before trimming). See some of the “innards” below!

I got right to putting the quilt together. I press and starch my quilt tops before basting. I find that it helps keep everything together for the whole quilting process.

Then, I pin-basted it…

I planned for straight line quilting on the diagonal. As I often do - I used my Hera marker to draw out my first line, then I just went from there using the bar on my walking foot to follow along for each line after that.

Unfortunately, my machine was skipping stitches a bit so I ended out having to rip out a few lines of stitching. (I hate when that happens!!) But I figured out what the problem was, and so was able to just keep going!

I first did a pass over spacing 1″ apart, then another in between - to finish at a 1/2″ spacing between each line of quilting.

I used Susan Brubaker Knapp’s “Non-Mitred Faced Binding Tutorial” again to finish up. This was my second time doing faced binding (the first was my Essex Linen mini), I was really happy with it again!

I finished hand stitching the back just in time to snap a few pictures and get it up on my Instagram to enter into the contest within a few hours of the contest closing!

I would have liked to take some nice outdoor photos with some real greenery in the background - but that will have to wait for a nice weather day! (It’s been rainy around here this week).

This quilt finished up at 31″ square.

So glad to have been able to make it in to the Pantone Colour of the Year challenge in time! Voting is on now over at No Hats in the House or Bryan House Quilts, so you can go check out all of the Greenery quilts! (And there are a lot of beautiful projects – so don’t feel obliged to vote for mine! Ha ha!)

Also linking up this week with Finish it up Friday!

Very first attempt at knitting! 🍂 The edge is a little messy but I’m planning on turning this into an infinity scarf so that should be hidden 😁

Looks great! Terrific color choice, too.

"When Shelley's corpse washed ashore, a friend identified it by a copy of Keats's 1820 volume in the coat pocket, which he knew Shelley had taken with him. Then, after cremation in which Shelley's heart, hardened by calcium, did not burn, this same friend snatched it from the embers and presented it to Mary Shelley, who kept it thereafter in her desk, wrapped in a copy of 'Adonais."

Here’s your morbid literary fact of the day.

jesus christ, i will never be this goth.

Mary Shelley’s father taught her to spell her name by taking her to the graveyard and having her trace the letters on her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s gravestone.

NO ONE will ever be as goth.
