It’s been a busy week with a quilt on the design wall and a knitwear design on the knitting needles. Both had hung around a bit, but I have made good progress despite another week of poor health. I think I have that nailed down to really bad food sensitivities now. I have been writing more of my Better Without cookbook, and also my first ebook in the Stitches in Time series as well as designing two new ecourses.
Quilt Design
The quilt on the design wall is one you might have seen if you follow me on fb, Instagram (karenplatt_textiles) or twitter (if you don’t already please do). It sat there for 10 days with no progress whilst I battled food sensitivities. Not out of the woods yet, but I am hopefully getting on top of that. Friday, I picked up where I left off and the quilt is now looking well on its way. This will be in a new Scrappy Quilt ecourse along with other scrappy quilts I have designed, like this one. My ecourses can now be seen on the website or from Craft Courses.
Knitting
I dug out the fair isle I had started last year with wool from the 90s. It is on fine needles and I have done other projects in between because it takes a long time to knit something like this. Not to mention concentration. It is now finished and I am really pleased with it. It looks fantastic on and since I bought the wool so long ago, it cost about 10 pounds. So I started another project with the leftover yarn (see first pic). There is no stopping me.
What’s Coming Up?
Stay tuned next week for more quilting, knitting and new art posters and knitting patterns. I’ll be working on more quilts and writing.
Have a great week.
