The number for March is #2 which for me is a Retreat Bag. Now I have had the pattern for this bag, along with frames for both sizes, for some years now and have never got around to making it up. Could this be it's time? Well no actually as for some reason I have no great yearning to crack on with this. So instead I am making the crochet cardigan kit my project for the month. The pattern is for a jumper but I am splitting the centre blocks to make a cardigan.
Not an easy read but somewhat appropriate considering the current actics of that awful man across the ocean. And then for something lighter lol
Well, you can't beat a good murder mystery.
My Wildshore blanket was finished on Friday - the border turned out lovely.
I am very very pleased with my blanket.
Well, of course I have been sewing and my Stitch Journal has it's first entries for March.
It has been a fairly dry week for a change and we have had two trips to the seaside. I had hoped to have some nice pictures for you but sadly the sun declined to shine! More rain to come this week.
That's it from me for this week. Happy stitching.
I don't know how one can split Granny Square in half but you did a very precise job. Wow. The blanket is very lovely as is your stitching journal. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteYour blanket looks absolutely stunning Lin & Yes I adore that border!! It is beautiful. Those look like some very interesting reading there. Love your stitch journals - they are works of art in themselves. xx

ReplyDeleteI hope you try the retreat bag. I've made several, and they are easily finished in a single session of sewing.
ReplyDeleteI like your crochet squares. Those are some of my favourite colours.
Your wildshore blanket is looking beautiful. That cardigan is shaping up the same way. Love those blocks.
