WIP Wednesday Project

Started on a new quilt X's & O's using up some stash and other fabrics.  This is such an easy quilt pattern. 

Wanted a bright lap quilt.



Using the pattern from Jenny Doan Craftsy class
however my blocks are 7" 
with squares 3 1/2 ". 
At this time not sure how big this quilt will end up. 

Craftsy Quilt As You Go Hotpad

I started the Craftsy class: Quilt-As-You- Go Patchwork Bags, with Tara Rebman. For link click Craftsy button on the right hand side of blog .  The first lesson is making a hot pad. How fun to use up scraps  for this easy project.

Definitely need to remember these for quick gifts.  

I tried not to think or coordinate which fabric to use next. Just used the piece that fit the area. 

The Top Down Icelandic Sweater

I am sure this sweater would look better with snow in the background, however today was another beautiful fall day.

 Here is the finished sweater I knit taking  Craftsy Class:  The Top-Down Icelandic Sweater. Craftsy.com
The Yarn is Lopi and from a kit on the Craftsy website.
Interesting how the yarn softened after a soak and block per class instructions.

Designer Ragga Eiríksdóttir 

 I learned some "new to me techniques." How to Steek, a new ribbing, new cast on, working with three colors together.
