Welcome!
Today I'm shareing the finished Barely There Quilt
I sandwiched it with a simple teal spot backing fabric
I'm finding it really hard to get great pictures of the colours. The teals are a little more vibrant but they are soft colours
I quilted this quilt with simple 'in the ditch' quilting in every seam
Finally I bound it with a nice simple grey brushed cotton - a favourite of mine!
The finished size of each rectangle is 2.5 x 4.25 inches and the finished size of the quilt is 48 x 52 inches
This quilt has been listed for sale on Etsy

Welcome!
I have completed my first ever jumper! And I have worn it!
I used the Winterly pattern by Suvi Simola on Ravelry.
I chose this pattern for a few reasons:
- it is a top down pattern which means you can try it on as you go, which is a good thing as I had to adjust the pattern - more about that in a bit - and no sewing seams!
- There is a lace pattern which meant it wasn't just knitting in the round where I might easily get bored
I'm not good at guage swatches and I knew my guage wasn't right before I started so I adjusted as I went!
I began the with the correct number of stiches for my size but added additional rounds in the dark grey section to make the jumper wide enough and long enough to reach under the arms, in hind sight I think I made this a little wide, but the length is good.
I also added a little extra length.
The lace pattern wasn't too complicated and kept me interested.
As I was knitting hubby seemed to think I should be knitting a jumper for him - I guess that will have to be one of my next projects.
Happy Knitting all
