Knitting and EPP

Between the knitting and the English paper piecing and the walking, I seem to be very busy.  Our youngest grand, Benjamin, just turned 3, and I've made a sweater for him.  He's at that little boy stage of loving any form of transportation, especially cars and trucks.

KnitPicks Brava sport yarn because his mom wants easy care.  My gauge is close to 6 sts/inch, so it's nice and solid.  No way will it be as warm as wool, but then what busy working mom of a  middle schooler and a toddler has the time to deal with even superwash wool.  It took me 6 days from the beginning of the design process to the finish.

On the EPP front, I finished Rosette #3 from the New Hexagon-Millefiori quilt. It looks unfinished because it will join up with other rosettes.

Cape Cod Dreams

Her Name is Cape Cod Dreams, aka The New hexagon Millefiori quilt by Katya Marek.  I'm doing her in colors that echo my love of the Cape.

I had this awful moment yesterday when I realized that I had turned one of the outer blocks in the wrong direction.  Didn't notice it until I started to attach the next hexie.  For those who think that these quilts are easy to rip out: Hah!  Let me tell you about little whip stitches and how they resist frogging.  It is very very easy to make a mistake in placement. So I had better be vigilant because I do not want to rip these babies.  What a misery of a job.  But now she looks just fine.  Yay, CCMillie!
