Wow the past few weeks have flown by. I’ve been knitting lots and have finished the Talland Tee that I wound the yarn for in my last post. I haven’t had the chance to get any nice photos of it yet, but here is one from when it was blocking.
I also spent several days sorting out all my art and craft equipment. It was all rather haphazardly piled on an old computer desk, but we bought a new unit and now it’s all sorted and organised. The unit we bought was nice, and CHEAP, which was the main thing, but it had stark white drawers that looked a bit odd. The room it was going in has a Japanese influenced style, so before Stoo built the unit, I painted the drawer fronts with a brush style plum blossom design. Now the unit looks great and fits in well with the rest of the room.
I haven’t worked much on the Qiviut shawl, but I’m still loving how it’s turning out, I’ve done the odd row here and there.
And the other thing that’s been taking up a lot of my time is a blanket that I am crocheting for Steff. It’s going to be made of 16 x 18 small squares crocheted from 12 different colours of yarn. Mainly soft pastels to go with her room. I started by making 3x4 blocks with one square of each colour.
But I realised that was going to take forever, so I swapped to just making 24 squares of one colour, then moving on to the next. It makes the crocheting much faster, but I’m dreading seeming it all. 108 squares down, 180 to go!
