About Me

My photo
I'm a quilting, knitting, sewing, cooking,reading, gardening nut who can never find enough hours in the day to get it all done. Then again, getting it all done is out-of-the question. I'm too easily distracted.

Cat Knitting Part 2

So Doug got to try out his new knitted cowl…..



He was feeling a little camera shy…so it was hard to get a really good shot of him….
He didn't seem to object to wearing it at all, and didn't try to remove it, so I think I will make him another one soon…I'm sure he's going to want to be able to switch things up once in awhile!

A Little Cat Knitting….



My latest project, hot off the needles last night.  A knitted cowl for Doug the Cat.
It's knitting season for me, and after making several cowls for the girls, friends and myself I decided Doug needed one as well.  I found this little beauty on a blog that linked me to Ravelry…
it is The Triangle Cowl for Tiny Creatures by Sylvia Bo Bilvia.
It only took a tiny bit of yarn and a few minutes of knitting seed stitch, which is not my my favorite and my hands are not happy this morning….
I'll be seeing Doug this evening so he will get a chance to try this on and I will treat him to a little fashion photo shoot.
But for now, the cowl is being modeled by Rex.  He likes it very much.

A little bit of catching up...

Working on projects and spending time with family have taken up much of my time this past December…




The patchwork pillows for my kids turned out to be a hit and were a fun , quick project to work on.

Quick and Easy Sewing

Earlier in the week I wanted to do some simple, mindless sewing as well as play around with my new Accuquilt Studio …..in just minutes I had a pile of strips which I then cut into squares and I did a quick "Plus" layout.  Thrifted mens shirts were my fabric of choice when I decided that my project could turn into a masculine Christmas gift.



I used my 2.5" strip die to cut my strips as well as my squares...



My faithful sewing companion , Doug, has given this project his approval.
Now to find a back for this and, I think,  a pillow form!
