last month ( ..... uh, no ! )

In the consternation of describing yesterday's felting failure I totally 
forgot to show my finished December journal quilt

starry, starry night / wintersolstice


winter and summer next to each other


the whole stack together

uh ..... NO
August is still missing !

So, after finishing a belated pair of (christmas present) socks for my daughter,


and a helping hand with another pair that she is knitting herself,


and a felting failure ...

I finally brought together the greens I want to use for August
and started ripping strips for (again) a woven background.


(I didn't have to rip up shirts and boxers like some people do
although the result turned out beautifully,
 look here)

;-)

  2. Loving the greens of the new cloth, and those socks look beautiful. I want to learn how to knit socks next winter! My Great Grandmother used to knit socks...lovely memories in her lounge room sitting with her while she knitted away. I was too little to learn socks, but she did teach me to knit on a pair of large nails.

    Your winter and summer cloths are wonderful, will you make these all up into a quilt/wall hanging?

  4. Great Solstice stitching Els. I like the thought of doing a piece for each month of the year. And the greens of August are delightful.
