Before heading off to quilting today I located a couple of pairs of knitting needles for new projects I hope to start tonight. I think they will both be shawls because the yarn requires some special care and I’m not sure a new mum would have the time for that. We’ll see how they knit up but I’ll use my basic triangular shawl pattern; I start at the narrow end and end when I run out of yarn.

I took both of my binding projects as well as my scrappy project to the Guild today. When I was ready to start attaching the binding to the calendar block I realized I still needed to knot and bury the ends. I got that done and had the binding on my second project before lunch. Rather than dig out my scrappy project I went ahead and did the hand stitching on both projects so that is two more items done.

Shortly after I got home there was a knock at the door. Jessie, from Thursday sewing, brought me a container of fabric for making half-square triangles. She had even put together a couple of samples in case I wanted to use her idea – and I do. One of the samples finished smaller than the other so I might have to use them in two different quilts. I’m going to have so much fun.

After sewing I made a couple of stops and now that I’m home I’ll get the Guild blog written and do the Wordle for the day. Pat and I debated about what I’d make for supper tonight and then we realized that it is Spring Break and his lesson is cancelled.

I won’t be back to Tuesday sewing for a few week. I think I’ll be on Texada next week and the week after I’ll be sewing with Stacia and Deloise. Then I’m off to Calgary and will miss at least one session.
