So...I have lots of small projects going to keep from focusing on the number of hours until the solstice.
This is my first attempt at french knots, thanks to a tutorial on Purl Bee a terrific sewing and knitting and generally thready site. Does that look vaguely like a chrysanthemum to you?
The wee little afghan was one of those projects started some other winter and put away for a couple of months...it gained that weird voodoo that put away projects sometimes get where they seem to have grown more difficult by being stored. When I took it out of the cedar box, it wasn't messed up! It hadn't grown more difficult or crooked or weird, it was fine thank you.
Last night, I accidentally made only three sets of crochet in the middle of this one...didn't even notice until I got to the dark purple! I kind of like it. I'm going to try to add a line of triangles to the fine thank you afghan.

Don't you love finding things like that? I found a bag with Hawaiian fabric scraps a while back. They were from the 70's. Still beautiful and unfaded. Need to find something to do with them.
Have a great Thanksgiving!

ooh, what a terrific find! Are there enough scraps to make a simple quilt that shows off the cool patterns?
Probably, but I'm not much of a quilter. I suspect I may make partially beaded dolls out of them.

OMGosh! I found you from Rice's blog. Haven't been to BeadArt in years and missed your posts.
Heya Kim! Good to see you! I've been here since this past summer, trying to be all interesting and stuff.
Now that sounds like a great idea! And your own design too.
