On my screen, there appears to be a teal colour 

Took so long to find the thread I've forgotten what I was going to do!

I expect you were going to show us your latest knitting project?

Possibly, but it seems that I need to take some photos first!

OK, I'll wait.

I've actually been doing more crochet than knitting this past year. Started several things but not actually completed anything yet!

So how's your quilt coming along Lori?

I've JUST loaded a new quilt top on the machine for quilting. This is a quilt "reclamation project" for a friend, on a quilt that her mother made years ago. It was in pretty rough shape, so I took it apart, replaced the torn fabrics, and it's getting new backing and batting. I'll post a picture of it on the machine when I've made a little progress on it, but here's a picture of the completed quilt top.

Looking pretty!

That’s beautiful Lori ...you’re so clever ....I wouldn’t know where to even start ....mind you crafting and I ain’t even kissing cousins .

Thanks! I'm feeling a certain amount of pressure, because she's paying me to do this...

Well I’m sure she will love it ....and if not , then I can send you my address .

This is to be a cardigan. The  back will be the lacy part only.

That's just a sample, to see what the pattern looks like, but that is the actual yarn colour I'll be using.

Oooo I like those colours EFFT ...and I like the pattern too .

Next up are two samples in Sugar and Cream ombre - key lime pie, one knitted,one crocheted. The crocheted one will become a summer top.

It's a colour change yarn, so there's no great effort involved.

Sure, but the colors are still right up my alley.

Also, have I mentioned how much I like colors that are named after food?

This one you've seen before, but......I was getting annoyed at how much it was distorting, so I ripped it all out and started again. Currently it measures 24 by 30 inches.

Pretty!

If I remember rightly, that's a baby blanket?

Yes, car blanket, picnic blanket, beach blanket, 'snuggle up on the couch watching TV' blanket, as required!

Still got a few more rounds to add.

I'd better show you this one next as you got a sneak preview iñ the previous pic. It will be a blanket - not taken any measurements yet, but it will be single-bed size - approximately. Tis pic is of it folded in 4, widthwise. Bottom at the right and it will grow up from the left.

Right to left:- Section one, divider one, section two.

Right to left:- Section 2, Divider 2, Start of Section 3 (two rows)

That's a pretty stitch!

Sections one and two are varied combinations of Double Crochet (US terms) and 'boxes' - filet crochet. the dividers are variations of rows of straight DC stitches and rows of 'Kisses'. DC in stitch 2 then in stitch 1, DC in stitch 4 then in stitch 3 and so on. Section 3 is what is called the V stitch. 1DC, 1 chain, 1 DC all in same stich, skip 2, then 1 DC, 1 chain, 1DC in third stitch. Then just repeat to end of row. Subsequent rows place the V-stitch in the chain space of the preceding row.

Knitting and crochet have kept me sane during the pandemic

Sooooo cute, machel! They look so good!

Next picture is the start of a shawl. It is crocheted on a larger hook to produce a lacier fabric. It is worked from the longest row down to a peak.

It's 39 inches wide and after 5 rows of V-stitch it is 28 inches long. Got quite a long way to go still, then there's a border to be added.

Nice one EFFT

That's definitely true here, except it's fabric. My stash requires its own room.

Also, my husband jokes that, even though I have lots of knitting needles, anytime I start a new project it requires a new set of needles.

Sounds like you might need a room just for your needles!

I have knitting patterns with prices on that are predecimalisation!  Knitted items that have been in and out of fashion several times with matinee coats that have been made for me, my children and grandchildren 😂
