It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. What can I say? Instagram is easier??? Besides that, life gets in the way. I am currently in recovery from surgery and I figured now would be the perfect time to sit down and write. This year I have been participating with a few of the groups (and their podcasters) in the stash down for 2014. I have been quite successful in NOT buying yarn this year. HOWEVER... I did purchase a new sewing machine and serger. The serger is something that I have been wanting for years and the sewing machine I simply could not resist because it came with applique settings AND a WALKING FOOT with 10 other quilting accessories. SCORE!!! In the mean time, I have been completing projects that have been on the needles for 4 or more years. It is amazing how having the correct needles will let you complete a project faster. It took me four years to complete this lovely lace scarf simply because I did not have a set of needles that I liked for the project. The bad thing is that I did not realize that the needles were the problem until May 2014. How sad is that, right?
The next project that I am DETERMINED to get off the needles in the next few days is the
Medano Beach Bag that I've the working on since I first learned to start knitting that something else that is simply taking forever because I was bored with the project.
It seemed to take forever to get 11 inches long before I could start doing the decreases for the straps. Now that I am almost there it shouldn't take that long. I can't wait to start cutting out the material for the lining.
