I’ve been hand quilting a bed quilt for Chloe for the last 4 months. It’s looking really cute, but has been taking FOREVER. I don’t know how to machine quilt, so I’ve been doing it all by hand. You should see the little callus on my left index finger. But I needed to FINISH something, since I’m months away from being done with the quilt. So I decided this week will be a finish-my-projects week I’ve been putting the finishing touches on random, half-completed, projects that have been collecting dust in the closet. This morning, I tidied up this little cardigan, knitted last summer but in need of buttons, a crocheted edge, and the addition of these little baubles. It turned out so cute.

Next up… buttons on a yellow sweater and a crocheted neck around a navy pullover.

This has all been part of the no-spending experiment. Instead of buying new yarn for new projects, I’m only using what I have on hand. It’ll force me to be more creative (in theory). So far, so good!
