Churn dash blocks are a dear favorite of mine, and I just love how scrappy this version is.
I chose a limited palette but used a heavy bundle of different prints from the stash.
I quilted it with simple wavy lines, and used the solid corners for a little arc action.
I can't wait for this one to come home.
You can still find Issue 5 of Quilt Now at Pink Castle Fabrics and Fat Quarter Shop in the states!
I received the Ashford Sample-It loom from a very sweet friend a year ago, and on January 1st, Elliott helped me set up my first warp. The pictured piece is now a finished scarf, but I haven't taken FO shots yet. It was very quick and enjoyable to weave the scarf, and I see lots of weaving in my 2015 forecast.
After discovering that I have a BOATLOAD of sock yarn (boatload is a technical term, btw), I want to focus on sock yarn projects this year.
I purchased a reed for the loom to weave with sock yarn, which will be a part of my plan.
I also intend to make at least four pairs of socks this year. For me, that's a pretty lofty goal, since socks are my kryptonite.
But I'm halfway through the second sock on this pair, which I started January 2nd. It's Hermoine's Everyday Socks (free pattern), and I'm using Squoosh Ultra Sock in the Vintage colorway. I hope to finish this pair in the next week or so.
Additionally, Eat Sleep Knit is doing another year of the yarnathon. I participated in many of their challenges last year, and I intend to do the same this year, as some of the KALs were already in my knitting plans.
Unfortunately, projects like my Scrappy Hue Shift won't count, since the majority of the yarn used has to be from ESK. But I still plan on finishing that blanket this year!
I also intend to finish Backshore (bottom of the post), the choose your own adventure shawl and these mitts.
So, you know, normal ambitious dreams of knitting and weaving all of the things. Nbd.
