The Stained Glass Window Tiles were on hold for a little while because I ran out of yarn, but thanks to Cindy at Apple Laine this has been remedied. A large box arrived last week and here are the contents:
I figure this will keep be busy for a while. I’ve been eagerly trying out new colour-combinations – and I find new favourites all the time. My latest favourite is the one with the water drops (last tile in the third row), but the one with the pinwheels (first tile in the third row) is another combination that makes my heart sing.
In other news, the lovely spring weather we were enjoying has left us, and now it’s rain, rain and rain. It’s also cold (7C for several days in a row). I had thought that watching softball games would be warmer and more pleasant than the hockey games (now that hockey season is over), but I might have to revise that after I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes freezing in the rain on Tuesday evening. At least the right team won. And I managed to knit part of a cuff and most of a palm on my new fingerless mittens. Thankfully I still had a pair of fingerless mittens to WEAR in my knitting bag (leftover from hockey practices), so I could knit. Surely May evenings could be a little warmer than arenas in the middle of winter?
These are fantastic! I like that they are clever in a knitterly way (reversible!) but have a quilty vibe (pinwheels! rail fences!). And the colours are just amazing.
I love the color combo of the last tile on the first row, but those are kind of my colors. The pattern on the third tile from left on the third row is just awesome. Keep knitting! I love seeing these come out.
Thank you Rebecca & Sarah.
I also like the two tiles you mentioned Sarah. That third from the left on the third row I was a little hesitant about when I started knitting it, but then I just loved it. It turned out really nice.
