I started two new knitting projects this week. The first is a cabled bracelet for my eldest grand, who just graduated from 8th grade. A nice small project, that was a bit challenging since it was my first time making cables. The join is not pretty, but other than that, I am pleased with the results. (I hope my grand is too).
The second project is a knit tie for my son. I started with this pattern, (which I love), but is really beyond my current knitting capabilities. Now I am just winging it, and have no idea whether it will work out or not. I've started this over at least five times. Does anyone know of a simple mens knit tie pattern?
On the quilting front, I put the finishing touches on a quilt for a baby shower this last Saturday.
The garden was calling this week, so the rest of my free time was spent outside. My son and I began a landscaping project, which hopefully will be done soon.
So, what have you been up to this week? I would love to hear.
I've linked up with I have linked up with Fabric Tuesday, and Freshly Pieced.

ReplyDeleteAnd the quilt is beautiful...love the colors!
Love the baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe baby quilt looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI can offer no help on the knitting projects (I know the difference between knit and purl but that is about it!) I love the baby quilt though!!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I tried my hand at cables, it was a disaster! Maybe a bracelet is the way to go. Also, that baby shower quilt is ADORABLE! Did you follow a pattern?
ReplyDeleteYes, the quilt is from a free Robert Kaufman pattern "Barn Babies." You can get it here:
