Monday was a trip to Boston and back. It is a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive depending on traffic and road construction. It is best for all if I can keep my eyes off the road and the other cars if I am not the one driving. This set of socks were only half done so they came along as my diversion (and they also needed to get finished). One was completed by the time we arrived at our destination, even the heel. The other was completed by the time we were home. The threads were run in today (Saturday) while watching college football. I am a toe up sock knitter and knit both at the same time. When they are finished, they are totally finished. No second sock syndrome.
Laurel Ridge, a BOM quilt by Lynn Wilder for the Quilt Show, has been worked on again. Here is block #6 (I am behind). There are eight #6 blocks to applique. As you can see, all are being worked on at the same time. This is a flower grouping of three. The plaid flower still has its center flower part to be stitched on and then there will be a circle for the center of each flower.
Then, leaves need to be stitched on each grouping. When the leaves are done all eight blocks will be done. It would be too hard for me to finish one block knowing that seven more were waiting. It is easier for me to repeat a part eight times.
Enjoy your threads today.
