Just Sticks, String and Some Quilts

Despite our incredibly wet weather which should produce lots of stitching, I don't have a lot to show, or at least that I can show. (I am working on two of three Christmas stockings that have to remain secret for a bit. I have turned the heel on the first one at least.)



Last week I caved in and started a new KAL from the Knitters Brewing Co., a sock called Snow Dancer.  I just had to know how that snowflake was created, but there are lots more of them to do, and the flakes on the cuff have beads.  It's a fun and challenging project, but I don't expect to finish it any time soon even though 2 flakes are now done!



This washcloth, however, is both fast and fun. Mere has made lots of them! The pattern is free at Ravelry and is called "The Almost Lost Washcloth.  A washcloth coupled with homemade soap makes a great gift, and I've been very happy with soap from Cranberry Morning's etsy shop.

This morning my friend Becca and I made our annual trip to the Block Party Quilters show at the Issaquah Community Center.  Janet Fogg is the featured quilter, and you can see a couple of her quilts in the distance. If you live anywhere closeby, I'd recommend that you attend. It will be open on Saturday and Sunday, too.



So there you have it in a nutshell! I'll post photos of some of the quilts so Have a happy week!   Oh, and remember to check out Patchwork Times to see what others are knitting this week.
