Sew Much Time

With rain and more rain, sewing and knitting projects have filled and brightened the dreary days.  On Friday, the weather was a bit more distracting than endless drips and drizzle bringing hail and a torrential downpour.

Besides the OMG Hoping for Hazel quilt, two shawls, a shawlette, a cowl, and a little zip bag have been added to the pile of completed projects for 2017.

A third shawl is falling off the needles.  The Mandala line of yarn has been enjoyable to use with few or no knots and varying lengths of color in the segments.

I really like that zipper bag. Lots of fun stuff to keep you busy.

Cheryl, if you like the bag, there are a couple online that are just as nice and offer a lining. The purchase of Zippy Strippy was made in a moment of weakness when I knew the Puyallup Sew Expo was out of the question. Look at these links if you're interested:

Zippy Strippy is a quilt-as-you go project with no lining. I finished my inside edges with a serger for a cleaner look.

Those knitted shawls are beautiful! The colors of the first one are my favorite!
Looks like quite a storm...
