After the last post I struggled for a few days to settle down to anything in particular... I did a bit of knitting on and off - my scarf is now 75cm long, about half way - which is good as it's freezing today, I think I'm going to need it sooner rather than later!
At the weekend I was in the mood for quilting again. But I was worried I didn't have enough of the paler shades... so I had a quick look online for quilting shops, and realised that there was a real brick-and-mortar (well, stone-and-mortar, this being Yorkshire) quiliting shop not 10 mins drive away... (I tend to buy myself quilitng supplies when I see them - as I don't generally actually do any quiliting, something I am trying to remedy). So I popped over to the Skep Knitting and Quilting Shop, where I got 3 fat quarters - one in white with lilac spots for the sampler quilt I am attempting to make (ahem), and two lovely bright ones to use as cover cloths for my lace - having stolen my cover cloths back from my lace pillows for use in the supposed quilt (it WILL be a quilt, it WILL be a quilt).
That night we watched Wallander in Swedish. Brilliant I thought, I can read subtitles while knitting. Except I can't very well, managed to get the knitting going the wrong way, and realised after I'd done about 6-8cm of knitting. I can confirm however that I can unpick knitting while reading subtitles....
Sunday I made a single block for the quilt, having spent most of the day thinking about the design and colour combinations (again).
Sunday night and Monday I picked up Fantasy Triptych. Which I am loving again... have made some good progress with the green:
Tonight, however, I fancied a change - and started the LHN ornament from last years JCS special issue.
Yup, I am a self-certified crafting butterfly...

Variety is the spice of life and as long as your having fun does it matter if you flit from one thing to another.
Oh how can you not love anything by TWD. This is one which I have not stitched but it is in the line up. So far I have completed 9 of her designs and loved every minute of each one.
Be always in stitches.
Nothing wrong with variety, I never have only one project on the go:)
Hi there crafting butterfly! That piece is very involved but incredibly beautiful. We watched the couple of Wallanders they had on the BBC in English. They were good. I could not read subtitles and keep doing my stitching or quilting either.
Stop by my blog today for a surprise.

I keep looking at my Triptych and debate putting it on my bars again, but it's not quite screaming at me yet to do so. I imagine I'll get a lot of work done on it this autumn/winter, though - it strikes me as one of those cozy curl-up projects.
