I’m still<\/i> quilting my basket quilt. It’s taking me a long time, mainly because I’m not doing any really fun quilting on it. I’ve already done some feathers in the plain strips, but the basket blocks are getting simple outline quilting, and that’s just plain boring. :S Still, it will get done. <\/div>\n

In the meantime, I’ve also started another Craftsy<\/a> class. \ud83d\ude42 The first one I took was really great, resulting in two lace shawls (Skywalker<\/a> and Clarus<\/a>) that I just love. This time I’ll be making a cardigan with some lace touches, and the whole thing will be custom fitted \u2014 if all goes well \u2014 to my particular shape and tastes. I’m using a cotton blend yarn called Shine Sport<\/a>, and it really does shine! Who knew? \ud83d\ude09 My yarn is white, since I figure I’ll get lots of use out of a basic color like that; the AC in so many places here in the summer is downright chilly<\/i>!<\/div>\n
Last night I knit up the two swatches above to see which size of needles I should use, and I really like the feel of the finished samples. The sweater itself will be started soon, I hope. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
