Baby quilts are so fast and fun and easy. It's great to be able to pick out a pattern knowing that you don't have to commit to making enough to cover the whole bed. I tend to not be as fidgety with baby quilts either because I know they'll just be covered in bodily fluids instantly. And they're easy to run through the machine for fast machine quilting! And you don't need mega-yardage.
Anyway, this one. I picked up that adorable bear fabric awhile back. I had wanted to make a Carpenters Square Quilt for quite some time, and this seemed a reasonable opportunity to try it out. It's a piece of cake! Though I will say that before it got that brown stitching it was a little bit retina searing.
Next up:
This is one of those Faux Chenille Baby Blankets and Boy Howdy is it easy to make. And pretty fast! It is super plush and delightfully soft and cuddly. I think the rounded corners are charming as well.
I took a break from the quilting and moved on to some knitting and made this little Snug:
This was a super fast knit. I think I knit it up on US7s? The yarn is a 3-ply explosion of Hello Yarn goodness in 3 colorways and fibers: "Kale", "Fresh Start", "Spring Loaded" (Falklands/SAF/Merino). I spun this up 2.5 years ago with no real plans for what it would end up as. This seems as good a knit as any. The pattern is clearly written and it is FAST. It is also *almost* seamless.
I travel next! Expect adventures and knitterly visits, cheese and mustard, and maybe some Big Sky :)
