Circle Loom Knitting


Today I tried loom knitting for the first time. Very easy, fast, and enjoyable. I finished these two hats in only a few hours, and have now started a pair of adult slippers. I don't like my choice of colors on the beige one, but that's how we learn, through our mistakes. I'll pay more attention to colors next time.

A Visitor


This friendly little doe came right up to the edge of our yard yesterday while we were standing out on our deck.

Susan Huff's Block - My Work


This is the work I did on Susan Huff's block. I used varigated silk ribbon on the rose swag and tiny size 15 seed beads on the feather stitched seam line. This is a lovely block and I can't wait to see the finished piece. Some of the girls in this round roubin have stitched together for several years and there is talk of getting another round going as soon as this one is done. If you haven't ever joined a round robin, may I sugest that you try one. There is no better way to learn, than to see others work up close.
