Before Blocking

But after knitting! This project was just what I was looking for. I was thinking of knitting another Citron but that wasn't exactly right for these yarns. When I saw the sample was made out of yarns similar in color to what I had, I knew it was the one. Now I just need to block it.

Wonder if I have time to go to Petaluma this weekend...

Craftaluma - How the Craft was Won

As Promised...

Photo of the pool sign with resin coating:

This shows a glossy reflection in the upper left corner of the sign. It also shows a concerning "stain." The paint seems to be discolored in the middle of the sign. I think it's the white paint, but I don't know why it looks like it is dissolving...UV rays?

Hammock Quilt Progress

All of the strips are now sewn together! I did this completely randomly. And without really being careful about the seams or using pins. I'm not a quilter. :-)

Now I need to press the seams open and check to make sure that I didn't catch any of the cross-seams in the stitching.

It's great to see progress! I may work slowly, but if I like the project I'll eventually finish it.

Summer Poncho

Finished! This used up most of the Ella Rae Shibu -- I have part of a ball left. The garter stitch is very stretchy, and so I didn't use all of the yardage required although I did complete more repeats of the pattern than written.
