You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer. You are through those knitting growing pains and feeling more adventurous. You can follow a standard pattern if it's not too complicated and know where to go to get help. Maybe you've started to experiment with different fibers and you might be eyeing a book with a cool technique you've never tried. Perhaps you prefer to stick to other people's patterns but you are trying to challenge yourself more. Regardless of your preference, you are continually trying to grow as a knitter, and as well you should since your non-knitting friends are probably dropping some serious hints, these days.http://marniemaclean.com Take this quiz!
I have two photos. One is a before shot of the pillow and the other is the "after" photo. I must say, I prefer the after. It was somewhat tricky stuffing the pillow into its new home. The designer basically made the envelope 1 whole inch shorter -- a 13 by 13 -- and you can see on the 'after' picture how it has 'pulled in' on the sides, but I really like it.
Here is what I have completed on the Autumn Sampler so far. I am about 2/3 of the way done with the barn and about 1/2 way done with the straw/hay bundle.
Hi Mom This is the back of the Waxing Moon Designs "Autumn Sampler"
Of course, after I took the photo and got it on the computer -- then I saw this tiny thread I didn't clip close enough. But I think the back side of the work is fairly tidy.
I have attached photos of some knitted items. One is a girls baby blanket in pick from a knitting book I have. The other knitted items come from the book i have on loan from the local library-- Mason - Dixon knitting. The big blanket is called "Moderne Log Cabin" and one is of a log-cabin type rug, and the other is a flying geese pattern blanket. Oh, and the last photo is of a knitted bench cushion
