Update On Finishing Projects

So after writing my list yesterday and thinking that I only had 4 unfinished projects to complete, that's not quite true, realised there were another 4 projects in the cupboard, oops
  1. second panel of knitted throw.
  2. finish sewing L's blouse (fabric from stash)
  3. grey wrist warmers, not sure if I like the pattern in the wool I am using from my stash, so might unravel them and start again!
  4. have just started a white cardi for L again wool I already have.
  5. patchwork quilt
  6. dolls pyjamas that I had cut out of scraps of fabric
  7. cat cross stitch that I started a while ago
  8. a skirt, needs the zip put in and waistband finished, I got tot his stage last year and hoped I might loose a bit of weight, tone up, so didn't finish it!
But have today finished L's blouse, pleased with it, it's from the spring edition of Ottobre magazine, looking at it now, I should of made the yoke a double layer so hiding all the seems, did this with the last top I made from this magazine but didn't think about this time. 


Met up with a friend and her son yesterday and we all had a lovely walk around the woods, lots of bluebells out and plenty of butterflies.



Spotted a lovely peacock butterfly sunning itself on some brambles, there were a few blue butterflies flitting around too but not staying still long enough for a photo. I talked to the children about though they might not like the nettles, the peacock butterflies do as they lay their eggs on the underside of the nettle leaves.


Linking up with Frontier Dreams

    I love the blouse. You could always add a facing to the yoke and cover them up that way. I've used a strip of bias binding before, but who will notice the seams when the blouse is being worn. What a beautiful walk.

      Thank you that's a good tip reference using some bias binding, I know no one will see it when it is being worn but...
