Beneath the Sea

I have just completed the Debbie Abrahams Mystery Blanket for 2010 called Beneath the Sea! So proud of myself for finishing another project and have been working on this every day to finish it.
We are going to the holiday house in Northern NSW tonight and I want to put the blanket down there as we are near the beach.
Well I have finished with knitting for this year and now have to concentrate on the crochet afghan as I have almost completed that too. Sewing that one together will be a major headache as there are 150 squares and they have to be slip stitched together. really want to try and get that one finished by Christmas.

Mystery Blanket Almost Complete

After a very busy October doing embroidery workshops with Margaret Light, I have finally completed the squares for the Debbie Abrahams Mystery Blanket. I have sewn them all together and now just have to knit the beaded borders. Hopefully that won't take me too long and I will have another project completed by the end of the year. I have really enjoyed making this blanket and have signed up to do another next year.

The two workshops that I did with Margaret Light were the 18th Century Jacobean Jewellery Roll and Part 2 of the Tree of Life. Really enjoyable as she is such a terrific teacher. I am looking forward to working on both projects over the next few months.

I have begun knitting a shawl for mum for Christmas in the Alchemy Haiku silk and mohair yarn that I bought from Prudence Mapstone. It is soft like gossamer and I know that mum will love it.

I had a fabulous week in October working at the Brisbane Craft Fair for Prudence Mapstone. I spent almost as much as I made but that's OK as I got 50% of all of her yarn. I hope she asks me to work for her again. I was tired but loved it!
