STITCHES south

Over a week ago I had the pleasure to attending the fiber show called "STITCHES south", which was a yarn, thread, knitting, crochet and other needlearts show that was in town for a weekend. My sock mentor, Sonja, and I attended for a full day. We could have probably spent more we both were suffering from fiber sensory over load. It was an inspiring and educational event for me, there was yarn there from animals I didn't even know was caught for harvesting. I mean who would have thought of Yak, water ox, and buffalo???? no me....

So what wondrous fibers did I purchase???
That's correct........a buffalo baseball cap for my husband and a sheep necklace for me, he is made from a felted bauble...K

If its true

Well, if its true that you should get rid of two things for every one that you bring in... I am in serious trouble...

Yesterday was a pleasantly spent day in the company of Sonja... we dropped by the lace group's workshop that was being held at Red Top Mountain State Park and then drove on toward Chattanooga to visit a yarn shop in Dalton...

Look at what I found...

Sonja presented me with a buttonholer suitable for a Singer 15 class machine. Later that night the young lady next door gave me another buttonholer and an electric scissors that were both her grandmothers.

I am just the most fortunate of people... an avalanche of treasured objects...

Your opinon is requested.

I've put together the center of a baby's quilt top, now I need your expert assistance.
Which border do you like???
The center with a brown strip then pieced scraps??
The center with a pink strip then the pieced scraps??
the center with a brown strip and then a pink??
The center with a pink strip first than the brown??

I'll not finish the top till Monday or Tuesday so give me your thoughts...

Preemie beret

Yesterday at the Knitting Emporium in downtown Kennesaw I began work on a beret for the preemie nursery at one of the local hospitals... yes, there are mistakes but I don't think that any of the little guys will complain.... You are correct, it does look like some sort of torture device for small critters... True, Decker is not impressed with mom's knitting project :(
