On the Needles


Here are two of my three current projects. Project three is a present for someone who may actually read this, so it will remain shrouded in mystery until after it's been presented.

This is The Woodland Shaw. It's about three quarters done, and currently unblocked. Check out the link to get an idea of what it should look like when it's finally finished.

The pattern is well written and quite intuitive. Once you've got it down it flies.


Project number two is the beginning of a baby blanket. I love patchwork quilts but due to Toddler Moo being physically incapable of staying away from anything sharp or dangerous, I'm currently not doing anything involving sharp scissors, sharp circular cutters, or sharp sewing machines. But I did think up a way to create a knitted "patchwork."

I'm not totally sold on this one yet. I'll have to knit more of it before I'm certain it won't be frogged. But I do like how the mitered squares look and I love the idea of being able to make something that looks like a quilt.
