Once a week I go for a sit n sew session at the Global Learning Centre in town. The ladies all do different things which makes the morning feel like a nice social catch up. A couple of the ladies knit, there are ladies smocking, embroidering blankets and quilting. I've been cross stitching. I picked this little kit up from a donation pile at WASPS (the lifestyle village in Wollert) and decided it was a quick, easy project to take along for sit n sew sessions. It is neither quick nor easy! But it is pretty!
This is how much I've completed and I've been working on it for hours! It's only 6 x 6 inches!
The pattern chart is so small I can't see the symbols so I've enlarged it. It's a shame I didn't think to enlarge the aida while I was at it ha ha! Anyway, I'll get it done. I have another two of these charts I might tackle. I don't know what I'll do with them once they're done yet.
I've been working on my shawl. I'm about to start the last border round. Saying that, I have a bit of yarn left over and it wasn't cheap so I might make the border bigger and use it up.
I had some of the value yarn left over and couldn't think what to do with it to use it all up. I spent way too much time online looking at designs and found this bunny lovey. After convincing myself that I HAD to make the bunny I printed off the pattern to find that my yarn isn't suitable. So I bought more yarn! Oops!
This is a free design by Alanna O'Dea featured on the Bella Coco blog.
I started making the head seven times. This has been unpicked and redone so many times the cream yarn is turning grey. Oh dear! But I persevered.
And now I have half a head! Woo! Apparently, this pattern is beginner friendly.
I've been burying threads on my camera quilt. I managed to snap the end of the needle and part of the needle got stuck inside. Yikes!
It took me ages but I got it out!
And then I snapped another needle.
So I have been busy. Just not busy making quilts!
