Neutral Afghan

My current afghan project.  I enjoyed making this sampler afghan, and I made matching brown tone ones for a bedroom.  I adapted a pattern I got from someone else to make it fit a twin bed, and also changed some of the stitches for less aggravating ones.  I then wrote up the pattern with what I did for a tryout on writing my own pattern.  It helped that I was using a partly made one already.  But it was still a chore!!

Skirt to Scarf

My latest rags to riches project. It was my daughter's idea.  We have had a skirt around here for 5 years, one of those unfinished edge tiered ones with a lot of different patterns.  My oldest daughter wore it until she was tired of it and the bottom piece was ragged, so we cut it off, and my youngest daughter wore it until she wanted it shorter so we cut off the bottom to make it knee length and she had the idea to make it into a scarf.

We found a tutorial here.

This is what we cut off the skirt.

 Basting along the sections with visible thread.

Gathered ready to sew. Which was a little difficult by the way.  You need concentration and patience.

The finished product.
