purleweWell, I've been quiet mostly b'c I've not exactly been knitting. I've let my knitting languish while I work on other holiday projects. But first I should show you the knitting I did do while up in NY.
That is the sock before I completed the cuff. I finished the cuff last Thursday nite at LOW bar with the phillyknitters. I've re-done the BO 3 times and I haven't gotten it the way I like. So I ask you sock knitters out there.. How do you bind off loosely for the cuff?? I did ok the first time but it was a smidge too tight.. so I went up 2 needles sizes.. it was even tighter!!! so I went up 4 needle sizes and its still a smidge too tight. Suggestions???
So what have I been working on? Over the weekend in the Poconos (which was beautiful weather btw.. why I stayed inside to use the machine is anyones guess) I completed all 24 squares for the christmas quilt for Sue and I. Since I did them in batches of 12 I present them twice (they are the same colors, so NO you are not seeing double.)
I really like the quilt pieces so far. I hope that the quilt turns out as nice as the squares.
Lastly I have been going back to cross stitching. I'm working on a 12 part CS that will have hardanger in between them. I have 1 completed and have started working on number 2!!
