A Little Knitting, A Little Spinning, A Little Quilting

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted on my Blog..Life you know gets in the way sometime.

I have been doing a few things  with my time.

First, I knit a little hat  for Lillian.  This is a free pattern from The Knitting Siren.  It's called the Papallona Earflap Hat.


She lives way up in freezing Virginia so I can use some of my washable wool which is too warm for the South.

                                                                                                                                                                            One day  I finished spinning some yarn.
I have soooo much fiber I need to spin.














Then I finally finished my ninth Florabunda Block.  Only three more to go.  Each block has a sawtooth border.  Not looking forward to that.

Margaret Bunny

I knit this little bunny for Lillian while she was here for a visit this past week.  Not the easiest thing I have knit.....I know Lillian is going to have fun with those ears.
It is a free pattern by Joanne Jongsma.  If you are interested in the pattern just type Margaret by Joanne Jongsma in your search engine and it will come up.
I couldn't get the link to work.

Another Finish

There hasn't been much time for my personal quilting lately but I did manage to finish a lace scarf in my UFO box.  I usually knit at night while I watch TV because you don't need much light.  I used to applique but my eyes have gotten older and they don't seem to see as well as they used to.
This scarf is one of Birgit Freyer's patterns from Knitting Delight she is a German designer and has a Yahoo Group I am a member of.
