Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

   Well here are my finishes from this month. All knitting.  I really do need to get busy sewing and finishes the bags I’ve started I just realized that I did have a little something finished that was sewn  I made another block to the Spring Fling 2015 quilt. It’s the block on the left. I’m getting ready to go ahead with another using some of that pink fabric.  Now to the knitting  Finished the shawl I started at the beginning of my cancer journey. Had to get a picture of it being blocked because it was still damp this afternoon   Finished the cowl Was an easy knit  and I like how it turned out. Looks like I’ll have to wait to wear it though. And the socks I started last fall. They too are still being blocked.  Well these are my finishes. Thank you for coming by and  Till next time  Kat

  Yay tomorrow is Friday. I have to say this week went by fast. I guess it’s because I’m gone and busy every day which makes the time go by quicker. Strange, I wouldn’t think that way but for me it has. Anyway I was able to finish the socks that I was knitting on in the previous post. I’m going to wash and block them this evening along with the shawl I finish. I was taking a break from knitting and was working on my loom.  I had started a shawl to take with me to chemo.

There goes half my day.  So what I have to write about is knitting. I have been doing a lot of knitting. I will share what it is I have been working on .  right now I just wanna focus on the pair of socks that I started back in the fall.

I did 64 stitches, a 2 x 2 ribbed cuff, And stockinette for the body. then the toe and heel I got out of this book here, which is very informative. It gives formulas for heels and toes so basically you can either do the patterns they provide or you can mix and match to ma
