Design Wall Monday
Monday, February 7, 2011 at 5:18AM I don’t actually have anything up on my design wall this Monday, since the blue and green quilt is on the longarm, but I do have my next quilt picked out and my fabric selection ready to go.
;)
I’ve already shared the EQ shot of the quilt… it’s the “Follow the Leader” pattern in the April 2011 edition of American Patchwork and Quilting magazine. And there’s my chosen fabrics. I think. I wouldn’t mind a bit more of a contrast between the greens, but don’t have anything in my stash. Go check out Judy’s site and see what everyone else is up to this Monday!
You know how I said I was bound and determined to learn how to knit socks, but that casting on and working the first few rows on four needles was just beyond my coordination ability? Well I was surfing the knitting sites on the web and discovered the “Magic Loop” method! I am so home free now, woohoo! I can’t wait to try this, and I’ve ordered several sizes of circular needles to try it with… all of mine are too short.
First I have to make the scarf pattern for Jim that Judy posted on her blog, however I am a bit frustrated after ordering the pattern on Friday… I recieved an email confirmation that my pattern had been sent via email… that’s instant delivery right? Nothing. Nada. Of course I checked my spam folder. I’ve emailed asking about it… no response. ***My email was replied to this morning and I have the pattern now, so I’m glad that was cleared up!***
Tomorrow, road condition permitting, I want to go visit the local yarn shop and see if I can find some great yarn for the scarf. It’s snowing out again and we’re supposed to get plenty more on Wednesday!

It sounds like you need to get out today while you can. Tuesday night and Wednesday sound like they will be spent at home. Maybe even Thursday.
It was amazing how pretty everything was on Friday and then by Saturday evening--almost all was melted and a soggy marsh left behind.
Good for you to have a quilt on the longarm!!!
I tried for years to make socks and was successful once I found the magic loop. Good luck!!
