It's allergy season in Indiana, and the gift that keeps on giving has my eyes and nose red and weepy. When I was a kid, I tromped through farm fields, forests and glens with nary a sniffle. Now, a few minutes outside turn me into a mess.
I have my knitting needles going at a moderate speed again, having put tendonitis in the rear-view mirror. Also, working on a quilt in my lap frame. It's a series of blocks designed by Brandywine Designs several years ago. The background is multi-color dot on black. The appliques are all bright colors. The batting is Hobbs Tuscany, which is a silk blend. It hand quilts like a dream, and I have already finished the center block.
Just about three rows of design before the toe on a pair of Athos socks . . . pattern by Caoua Coffee, which is free on the Ravelry, the knit/crochet website. Also, just a few rows to go on a test knit of a hat pattern, using Lamb's Pride bulky yarn. Will post a picture when it is done.
Have a quilt top ready to go to Viki for her magic touch. It is Native Flair, blocks designed by SindyRodenmayr of Fatcatpatterns.com. I set the blocks on point, in a triple rail sash with nine-patch cornerstone. I'm hoping to take it to Tom and Liz when we go to see the kids in Virginia before they depart for Copenhagen.
Continuing to work on old UFO's of all types. Pix to please soon . . . probably tomorrow.
