ONE BLOCK

Not much sewing going on here, but I did finish one Dear Jane block, M-7.  I'm beginning Row M even before June begins. I'm so happy to be almost finished with the middle section of this reproduction!



I also started another pair of socks. This time they will have a cuff. This is my 5th pair of socks. The other pairs were without cuffs. 




Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

TRAVELING PROJECTS

In case anyone was wondering where we are, last Wednesday we left on a trip to the east coast and since we travel by stand-by, we ended up spending the night at the airport before we could catch the final leg of our rip.  That wasn't fun, but we survived!

I prepared some projects to work on during our travel to 3 different locations.  Recently I have been doing some knitting and learning to knit socks.  I finished the first one and plan to start the next one any day now.  It involved a lot of ripping out of stitches as well as catching slipped stitches, but I got it done.  The motto "finished is better than perfect" definitely applies here.  Hopefully, the second sock will be easier!


I prepped some DJ blocks that could easily be done on a trip by hand - in other words, appliqué.  I have  completed the appliqué on 4 blocks and I think I have 4 more ready to go.  As you can see, these blocks aren't trimmed yet.  I have been wanting to get back to these for a while.


These pictures are from my cell phone, so aren't the best.  We forgot the cord to download pictures from our camera, so I'm sure I will have some of those to show you when we get back.

The main purpose of the trip is to visit family, including grandchildren.  So far we have experienced a birthday, museum visit and tonight there's a swim class before a little league baseball game!

It's great fun, but also reminds us of how old we are getting!
