Creative Space: Pin Cushion + blanket update

Playing along with Kirsty's My Creative Space meme today. 
Pop over to Kidspot to join in or see other spaces.


I've made a pin cushion. It's my very first and in honour of an old 
friend who has taken up sewing (and doing some cracker pieces too!).
Happy birthday Anita! and yah to having sewing friends too! :)


Isometric blanket update... I've been diligently diamonding and I would 
estimate I'm about 75% finished. The blanket has been ravelled.


I'm dreaming of a fluorescent orange border on this one but do you think I 
can find fluoro yarn anywhere? I would have thought it'd be so easy!


Let me know if you've seen any in your neck of the woods?
(every time I write an expression like that these days I giggle to imagine what 
the auto-translator would make of it! Obviously I'm reading a lot of foreign 
language blogs lately! :))

Hope you've had a wonderful week.

  6. Hey Kylie, just love looking at that blanket, you're doing a great job....75% fnished, that's a lot of work.

    Love the pin cushion too, lucky friend!!

    I spy a banjo in the background, do you play? I bought one when I was 17, but shortly after my teacher moved away, so never continued. I wish I had, just love to be able to pick it up and play something.

  16. Any luck on fluorescent yarn yet? I think the orange would complement perfectly.
    You could try this site, though not convenient - www.uvgear.co.uk/product/product24.htm

  17. the blanket looks so cool!
    The only fluorescent orange I've seen was acrylic, I think it's hard to find it in wool.
    happy weekend kylie :)

  19. Both projects look great. That blanket is going to be awesome. I did have some very bright orange yarn, but it wasn't exactly fluorescent. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the brand was. Perhaps you could dye your own...?

  20. Loving the palette you chose for your pincushion. Just gorgeous.
    Gotta say I'm surprised neon isn't easier to find - will keep a lookout. : )
