Quilting and knitting

Tis the season to get your decorating ideas in mind.  My customers have turned their thoughts to getting ready for Christmas so I needed to remake a few items.  Which of course is not a problem for me, I love it!  Crazy Trees by Saginaw Street is so fun to make. 


And so happy to make another of my S swirl runners.  This one has poinsettia fabric that I used for my main fabric and then pulled the red and green from that for the additional fabrics.  I love to set it all off with a black with gold metallic flecks. 


Since the weather has taken a turn for the cold already this year, I dug into my winter sock bin.  I've have been enjoying wearing some of my hand knit socks.  So I got a bug to make more while watching TV or riding in the car/truck for some longer upcoming rides.  Thank goodness I had written a blog post about the first couple pair so I have reference as to what pattern and needle size.  The pattern is a free one from Ravelry called Echo Beach Sock and I am using size 2 double pointed needles.  I can only do a little at a time or my wrists and thumb acts up. 


So that is what I have been up to in the last couple days. How about you, what has captured your attention this week.
