Works in Progress



There are a whole host of works in progress. The biggest and unfortunately most pressing is a reorganization of my fabrics. Over the years my colour sorting has become haphazard at best. Fabric came out for a project, but somehow did not magically get replaced when the project was finished or even worse the project never got finished. So... The fabric came out, the floor got cleaned and now the fabric is getting sorted and put away.



1.) Soft Drapey Scarf  
--- using a slightly modified ocean waves pattern. The yarn is a rayon/cotton ribbon.





2.) Pieces of Pie
--- Based on Bonnie Hunter's Spiderweb except that I am using Tallgrass Prairie Studio's layout, which includes a great tutorial on using selvages. In stead of using random pieces of colour, each slice of pie will include fabric, mainly from one colour family.




3. Stars in Green 
--- I have 8.5 of the nine stars finished. The center block of each star is unique, although there are at least two blocks of each of the different layouts.
