Ok so I have a quilt top layered and waiting to be quilted (it'll need unpinning, re-ironing and re-layering by the time I get round to it!!), I am in the process of knitting a 'wedding ring' shawl/stole, (so called because its lacy and so fine that when its finished it will still be able to be pulled through a wedding ring), I have another quilt in the very early stages, not even started stitching the blocks yet, but they are prepared and waiting, and I am finishing off a whole-cloth silk cot quilt that was designed and started at one of Dorothy Russell's workshop, but still I need something else to knit!!
I need to finish the cot-quilt before july 3rd, no not a baby on the way but thats when I do another of Dorothy's workshops, and if it isn't finished by then there is a danger that I'll be so wrapped up in new stuff!! The unquilted quilt top doesn't need to be finished yet, I have no real idea of where its going so no rush there. The newest quilt needs to be finished by december so plenty of time, oh and I've seen a fantastic quilt with lots of curved piecing on crazymoms blog and I've ordered the plastic templates to have a go at that too!!
So why more knitting? Well I go to a knitting group and although it has been known for me to take stitiching with me it is nice to actually go along with the group and knit! As I said I am doing the lacy wrap but although it isn't difficult I do need to concentrate on it, so not an ideal 'sociable' project. I have 3 lots of wool, and 3 patterns to go with but I've gone off them all!! Ho hum, better gett googling for free knitting patterns! lol
