Mohair Ombre Tube Scarf

It's been a while since I posted here.  I have a couple of quilts that I finished this summer/ fall that I have not shared (need to photograph them).  I finished knitting this scarf recently. It was knit using the pattern Mohair Ombre Tube Scarf by Iris Schreier.  The yarn is Artyarns Mohair Ombre in colorway #7267. I think it will be gifted to a niece this Christmas.

Quilt Damage Repaired

Our rescue Jack Russell terrier Harlow decided to chew on this old quilt for some unknown reason.  We adopted her in March this year.  She had not chewed on any of the quilts until recently when she did this.

I repaired it by trimming the hole and then hand sewing a piece of batting to fit.  Then I machine stitched the words "Harlow was here" on a heart shaped piece of felted wool.  I then machine quilted this over the hole.  I then hand appliqued another heart using dog paw cotton fabric on the back.\

Here is a picture of Harlow (usually sweet).

Another Scrappy Lap Quilt

 I finished this one a month ago.  It is machine pieced and quilted.  It measures 41.5 x 54 in. 

  

These next photos are detailed shots that show some of the fabric scraps used.

Not sure who will get this one but I'm sure I'll give it to a friend or some acquaintance at some point. 

Red Rhode Trip Hat

I knit this hat using the pattern Rhode Trip Hat by Kara McKinley.  It was knit using Berroco Vintage yarn in the colorway sour cherry. It will most likely be gifted to one of my nieces at Christmas.

Harlow's Sweater

I knit this sweater for my rescue Jack Russell.  Her name is Harlow.  The pattern is Buster by Berroco Design Team.  The yarn is Berroco Vintage in colorway sour cherry.  I'm not perfectly happy with the collar/neck area but otherwise I like it.

Icehouse Hat

I have used this pattern (Icehouse Hat by Melissa LaBarre) many times.  I like the way it fits.  This one was knit using some of the leftover yarn from the Trio Knit Cowl.  The yarn is Mountain Meadow Wool Tweed Sport in flint and shale colorways.  

Trio Knit Cowl

I knit this last month.  It was a kit from Mountain Meadows that included the yarn and pattern.  The pattern is Trio Knit Cowl by Mary Beth Temple.  The yarn is MM tweed sport in three colorways -- flint, gypsum, and shale.  It is an easy pattern to memorize. 

Another Scrappy Log Cabinish Quilt

I actually finished this quilt a few months ago but just got around to taking photos yesterday.  It is machine pieced and quilted, measures 48 in X 60 in.

 These last three photos show some of the details and fabrics.

Point the Way Hat

This slouch hat was knit using the pattern Point the Way by Ann Miner. The yarn is  Baah Yarn La Jolla in color summer lilac.  I really like how it turned out.

Echo Flower Scarf

I finished this a few weeks ago.  It was knit using the pattern  Echo Flower Shawl by Jenny Johnson Johnen.  The yarn is La Jolla Baah in summer lilac.  I used one skein.  The finished scarf measures 42 in length, 20 in deep. 

Homage to the Square Quilt

This small quilt was inspired by Josef Albee’s ‘Homage to the Square.’ It is machine pieced and quilted.  The finished quilt measures 18.5 in square.

 This is a photo of the back before I added the hanging sleeve and binding.

 This is a photo of a postcard of the painting "Homage to a Square."

Pink Cloud Seascape Stole

I started this stole in mid March and finished it last week.  It was knit using the pattern Seascape Stole by Kieran Foley. The yarn is Lana Gatto Silk Mohair.  It is wonderfully soft and light.
