Back from vacation
May 14th, 2007
I went to Portland and Long Beach, WA this week and got back last night. Hence, I had lots of car-knitting time and I got quite a bit of Audrey knitted. I am 20 rows away from the front (or back). And then it’s on to sleeve island.
Not much to say about that. It all seems to be going okay. I did mess up the darts the tiniest bit on one of the pieces but not enough for me to rip and re-knit. I think it will look fine.
Oh. My. God. I went a little crazy with my MIL at this wonderful little quilt store in Long Beach. It’s Called Anna Lena’s. They had the most adorable kit of retro cowboy prints that I HAD to have. I also picked up a book that the owner of the store wrote. It’s called Bundles of Fun and it has patterns for quilts made out of fat quarters. I thought this might be a good beginner book since I’m still such a newbie.
That was the first day. I decided to go back the next day to buy some charms.. They are little 5″ squares of each fabric from a line. Then, of course, I had to buy a pattern for a quilt made from these charms since I’m kind of clueless as to what to do with them. But they were just so cute! I had to get them! I can’t wait to get started…

The cowboy prints sure are cute.
I have avoided any sort of quilting ESPECIALLY with fat quarters. They kind of feel like the sock yarn of the knitting world.
Can’t wait to see what you make.

Audrey looks great; you gotta love that shaping. Your road trip sounds like heaven right now… I need to get out of town.

I adore that cowboy print! I wouldn’t have been able to resist either. Isn’t car knitting time wonderful?
