Velcro season has arrived!

 It's finally that time of year: Velcro Season! And what is Velcro Season? It's the season of flannel sheets, flannel comforter cover, and flannel nighties.  You cannot roll over in bed when everything is flannel. Trust me. Flannel sticks to itself. So if you want to roll over, you have to do it aerobically. Lift your body, twist in the air, and then plop down. 

It's a cozy, delicious way to sleep. About as hygge as you can get. But you can't roll over. 

Here's what else you need to think about. Today I put on the flannel sheets and wanted to put the cover on my comforter. Sigh. the dopey cover stuck to the sheet. Got it on anyway, but it was interesting. 

And in honor of Velcro Season, here is one of my favorite quilts. Not flannel, thank goodness.

It's a bit darker than the picture. Can't remember when I made it. It's been around for a few years. Mindlessly dopey to make, which is my kind of quilt. I really should use this pattern again. 

And speaking of quilts, here are 4 blocks in an upcoming quilt.

Again, a bit darker in real life. Each block will have a border that will contrast with the outer triangles. I've done this design a few times, and each time, the quilt is really pretty.

And that's it. Knitting is proceeding as usual, but I have no good pictures to share. I'm working on yet another Rauma little sweater. I love these lightweight pullovers. They are perfect for fall temps. Not warm enough in winter, but great right now.
