First week of December

I am so not ready for December.... 

I needed another lesson on looped picots for my Hardanger - so nothing more to show there.  I received a couple of learner books from Jennifer and they are helping me learn... thanks so much

Over the year Susan and I have been sewing Be My Neighbour blocks each month..... I got my binding hand sewn down this week so I have a finish... it's being called Debs' Village.

I did in the ditch quilting around the buildings and windows... some lines in the borders but it has kept it nice and soft.  As you can see in the next picture the backgrounds are different colours.  Quite a cheerful village I think, it's had a wash and ready for the right time to gift...

I did start on another Caswell block.... poor quilt has been severely neglected.  I do love doing the needleturn so not sure why it seems to take a back seat so often....

I had a single ball of this lovely soft thick yarn and made up this beanie.... well I had to do a few attempts so that I could get it all out of the one ball.... done now and this will go into the KOGO pile for next year.  Another square was done too.

Blue stripey crochet blanket has come to a halt as I did not estimate the yarn well enough and didn't have anything here that would suit so have ordered on line and waiting for delivery so I can finish it off.

Not been a good week for estimating yarn amounts!!!

Righto, Gotto Go - we went into Brisbane yesterday to watch a day of The Ashes, a rivalry cricket game between Australia and England.... had such a fun day.  The Gabba is going to be torn down - another place built for the Olympics, so this will be the last of the Ashes Tests here..... evening break as the sun goes down.

Have a lovely week.....xx
