And doing basket weave without having to worry about compensating?? Heaven! Projects like this remind us of why we stitch in the first place! :)Adahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636441873838651218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-57731416942914579842014-05-29T08:47:06.988-04:002014-05-29T08:47:06.988-04:00Gotta love those Vineyard Silks!

Sometimes a new direction is the ticket! Have a great day. Enjoy your new finish!

This gave a play-of-light effect that still pleases me after several decades, and made it less, well, repetitive.<br /><br />Delighted you're up and at it again.<br /><br />Deborah Hubbard in South AfricaDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638789928305768720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-82780584690580394302014-05-28T00:45:54.807-04:002014-05-28T00:45:54.807-04:00When in doubt, go back to the basics.....or learn ...When in doubt, go back to the basics.....or learn a new skill or refresh an old one. My mojo got up and went...away...far, far away. Fifty years ago, I knit several projects for 4-H, I was 15. I decided to pick up knitting needles again and guess what? My mojo came roaring back. I've completed a vest, almost finished with a 4'x6' blanket, and I'm about ready to turn the heel of a hand knit sock.
