I’ve been home a few days to visit. Soon I’ll be off again to see my dear son and daughter-in-law to be. In the meantime I’ve made progress on several unfinished projects.
I made several attempts on a “playful” panda hat pattern and think I have it now. This one is in fingering weight I’m gonna try the next in heavier yarn, DK.
I only made one hat but I took one picture in the mirror so they look like they’re facing different directions.
I finished and blocked my lace mohair cropped cardigan that I started sometime in the summer, when we were sailing. I remember how it blew in the wind while I was trying to work on it. I wanted it to be snug and there’s negative ease alright, I can’t eat too much until I wear it.
The wool braided rug is taking forever! I’ve become much less compulsive about how the strips fold and may finally finish it – or just declare it done.
And I’m quilting this darling bargello baby quilt. Speedy project I found online and a great way to use up odd bits of fabric.
I’m glad I had a chance to visit home. The scenery has been amazing, leaves in full color, milkweed shedding seeds.
Beautiful projects as usual and I admire your great job at color work. I have a hard time with my tension when doing it. I either get the floats to loose or too tight.
Also admire the fact you can do so many great things! Have safe travels and happy creating.
Sharon, Shycat on Rav.

Thanks Sharon,
I really enjoy stranded and twined knitting. This hat was actually a little tight and I’m planning a little backwards knitting on my motifs. We’ll see.
