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.
Your isometric blanket is just so cool! Lovely pincushion too.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is looking really good! Can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeletePincushion is divine!
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is beyond! I will ask Pip about fluro orange for you. I'm sure she's had some. xx
Love the triangles going into the pincushion!!
ReplyDeleteA bit of fluro around the blanket will look brilliant -

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

ReplyDeleteAny luck on fluorescent yarn yet? I think the orange would complement perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYou could try this site, though not convenient - www.uvgear.co.uk/product/product24.htm
the blanket looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteThe only fluorescent orange I've seen was acrylic, I think it's hard to find it in wool.
happy weekend kylie :)
Love that fab isometric blanket! Happy wool hunting Kylie!
ReplyDeleteBoth 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...?
ReplyDeleteLoving the palette you chose for your pincushion. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGotta say I'm surprised neon isn't easier to find - will keep a lookout. : )
