4 new stars and a new knitting project

While MyGuy was out viewing Verblendung the american version, I managed to sew 4 stars for Max' Star quilt, they still need the sashing strips but at 11:30 I decided to call it a night. I have finally managed to screw up one of the star points by sewing the squares in opposite directions and then cutting the second one of before I realized it. Lucikly I could recut one, so the star still looks good.

As I cannot find half my hats and gloves (not that I have searched too hard yet, it was warmish until this week) I have cast on a new hat this morning on the train. Topdown and improvised, so wish me luck on figuring out the right number and spacing of increases.

First Knitted FO 2012

I finished the girly socks, but have no picture as the battery on the camera was empty. I also ripped one of the christmas socks for MyGuy back to the gussett decreases and added two more sets of decreases as they are to wide and to long.

I did finish the 6th star for Max' Star quilt, but Sunday I spend more time watching downhill skiing and slalom than sewing.

Flue brings progress

Due to some fever and flue I staid home from work and finished the first sock of both my Girly socks and my Cotty socks. And on the day I was almost good I started putting together Max' Stars. The first two are done and I am very pleased so far. I have cut 35 centers the same and the sashing posts will also be all the same, I do not have enough of any fabric to make all the sashings the same, but that is fine.

Reading Challenge

This reading Challenge sounded like fun, so I think I will see how many I can read from by stacks for this color reading challenge.

Convergence bordered

I have finally added borders to a small convergence quilt I made quite a while ago in a class with my mom. Black and white and red. I am quilte pleased with how it looks now.

This is a small size and I think will make a nice first project for my machine quilting resolution. However I have to dig out my manual first and get the tension right, at the moment I have a feeling my bobbin thread is popping up at the top of my sewing.

Lone Star

The January palette by Vicky would be great as a Lone Star, I think, but white as the back drop? Or lime green and have the purples and blues form the star...

Send my Kaleidoscope off

At least I hope it went off, I have left it with the Best of All Husbands to be send to my mom for quilting. I finished adding the border strips, sewed up a backing and put the binding fabric in there, too. Tape shut and address to Mom. Done!
