This was a kit and I'm not quite sure why I purchased it in the first place. Is this my favorite quilt, far from it. Would I purchase the kit again if I had the chance...no. But I did finish it, I learned a few things while doing that, and I used up some fabric that isn't my favorite on the back too! My mom used to tell me that if I learned something from a difficult situation I was far better off having gone through it. I definitely learned something on this one...thanks Mom for making me see things this way.
We went for a ride yesterday and I only had a few seconds to grab something before we left. I had two extra skeins of yarn that I've wanted to do something with for a long time just to get it out of my sewing room. I started this prayer shawl when we got in the car and actually made quite a bit of progress in just a short time. It is an easy knit three, purl three pattern and was a wonderful easy project to work on that didn't include a lot of thinking or concentrating. It will definitely be in my "to go" bag. I'm now off to finish some pin cushions. The hop is 10 days away and I have so many ideas and projects to finish before it starts! :) Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

It;s a very nice runner Kristen; maybe not your favorite, but nothing wrong with it...and I like to practice my machine quilting on things that aren't my favorite...
love love love your prayer shawl could you please tell me what pattern you are using?
LOL you sure do like to multi task.. I am the same way, can't just sit and do nothing when there are so many projects that are marching around in my head.
thanks for sharing.
Your runner is lovely and your quilting is beautiful. Love the look of your knitting too!
Kristin I tried your prayer shawl and it comes out looking like a three by three rib. does yours look like that up close. its hard to tell from your picture. Linda
