I am trying to get some old projects done while still working on current projects. I misplaced this project almost 2 years ago. I have bags I carry around with me with half done projects in them sometimes I set them down in my project room then because they are either inside a bag and I do not see them and sort of forget about them and go on to the next project because I have so many happening at one time. The other reason is I do a play and forget because after a month of crazy costume making for others my mind just sort of forgets what I was doing for myself because of other projects that are bigger ie.. a play and have deadlines that my mind is to tired to remember. But in the case of this item it was actually the fact that I was doing the last touch ups on my book "learn to do yo-yo crochet" that put this on the back burner for what would seem like forever.
Those gloves that I found in my project bag from when I was traveling to and from my uncles funeral in February. I have since finished and they where already worn by my youngest daughter before I got a picture of them. So they have survived a day in the snow with a 10 year old with Velcro clothes. Can I just say how much I dislike Velcro and what is does when those barbs touch crochet and knitting. These are actually my gloves but my kids do wear my gloves at times. She said she has out grown all her gloves so I will have to find some in my stash and give to her to wear. Just not bamboo and wool ones as they tend to put them in the wash with out thinking. We have lost a pair of 100% wool gloves already that way that my oldest daughter knitted.
I am making Hilton lace for what I think will become the lace edging of a pair of lace gloves. I chose this lace as we have lots of friends with the last name Hilton and thought it was sort of neat that it has the same name as them. Read more »
Sorry this was so long in the posting. My children who help me do some of this had finals and reports to do at school and that took president but it is here now and please enjoy. The collar as it prints from your computer will work as a baby to toddler size yoke or you can use it as a child to preteen collar. If you want it to fit an adult blow it up to the measurements on the sides of the print outs then it will be adult size.
This is a pair of gloves I was working on a little over a month ago when I was traveling home from my uncles funeral which I now need to finish. Read more »
Please help me I am trying to date this quilt block. I inherited from my mother-in-law and she inherited it from her parents but I don’t know where it came from before that. I am trying to figure out the age of it to help me with it. I am wanting to get it archival framed to help stop any more damage but I want to put a little plaque on it with the name of the block and ruffly it’s age so my children in time won’t have to guess like me all help is greatly desired and wanted in this quest. Thank you now for any help you can give me.
Update it looks to be a sort of mariners compass like this one. But would still like the fabric dated. I am thinking very early in the 1900 to about 1930 maybe as early as 1880’s but I am not sure help is still greatly appreciated
Is it spring or winter I don’t think Mother Nature knows for sure in Utah. It happens almost every year here. She just gets so confused as to what season it is so why not have two at once. I am just not so sure the flowers are appreciating it. But I love the fact that the first flowers to bloom this year are the last flowers my mother in law was given by us. She loved pansies my first post of this blog was dedicated to her and pansies. So she is just reminding all of us that she is still here in spirit no matter what the trials the beauty of love concurs all and we can be just as clean as fresh new snow. Such lovely images to be setting next to one another.
I will be frogging the both front yoke parts of the blue peplum. I did the p2tog through back loop all wrong so I want it to be correct and will be redoing it. This way both the front right and front left yoke will look the same. I plan on getting back to the advent scarf soon this was a distraction so I could think and figure out the lace stitch on day 11 which was causing me great issues. Little did I know I would be learning something new in this project too and more frogging just a little to get it. The funny part is the dark blue band around the waist of this sweater actually helped me to understand the part of the scarf on day 11 I was having an issue with. So this was helpful to me and the scarf. I have learned that this yarn may have a tendency to stretch when steam blocked (which is what I was thinking of doing it being acrylic and all). If it does end up growing in height I have a very lovely tall sister in law who I will give this to. She has already stated she would be happy to have it if in deed that does happen.
