Pickles, Pumpkins, & Peanuts

Socks and Quilts

Posted in Sewing

I have a project that I'm hoping to finish this year (get it?...that's tonight).  I've been knitting a pair of socks for Pumpkin since before Peanut was born.  Knitting socks is kinda like making a Wedding Ring quilt for me...I had to do it to prove I could.  And I did, er, am.  I'm almost done with the second sock and then I'm planning to finish the Wedding Ring quilt for DH's birthday in January.  I started the Wedding Ring quilt 7, maybe 8, years ago.  So, in comparison the socks have been a quick finish for me (that's a joke for you, my beloved, grins). 

 

Here are a couple of photos of what's on my mind.

 

 

And the fabric I'm using in Peanut's quilt.  I'll work on this after I finish the Wedding Ring one for daddy.

I don't like the photo program I've got to work with...sorry about the huge photos lately. The fabric for the quilt looks just awful in this shot.

Well. Great job sticking with it! And, no matter how long your socks or your quilt have taken you - they look impressive to me. I'm doing good to knit a scarf and my quilts I am working on are like those little baby kind and they are not straight!
