This link party is open to all, it’s not just for quilters.
If you use fiber of any kind, please link up your weekly To-Do list!
Last Week:
- Afghan knitting, the yarn came! /
- Knit on Shawl while traveling /
- Sew the backing for Autumn Reign X
- Prep fabric for a baby quilt /
- Choose baby sweater pattern /
- Extra: April Table Scraps Paper Moon √
- Extra: UFO #4 Wash and Rinse /
- WOOFA: Coco Puffs /
I started the last afghan square during the Gonzaga/UCLA game, it’s an easy pattern. I knit on the shawl while traveling home on Thursday, discovered I missed half a repeat, not sure how that happened, but left it a mistake. No one will ever know, I swear! No back for Autumn Reign. Baby quilt prep was begun!! Gramps is the winner for the baby sweater, I’ve made it enough times I can do it in my sleep! And I got lots of piecing and quilting done!!
This Week:
- Baby Brook’s quilt
- Knit/seam Afghan
- Knit on Shawl
- Quilt something
I have all the animal blocks cut out for the baby quilt, now I need to start piecing the sashing squares. Below is the plan for the flimsy. Imagine cute animals in the blank blocks. LOL. Knit on the last afghan square and then seam the 6 blocks into the blanket. Continue knitting on the shawl, I am 4 repeats from starting the short rows of the body. I probably will throw a charity top on Gigi and do a panto to get it done quickly. But not until the baby quilt is pieced.
So, that’s my list, how about yours? Small, large, over ambitious, or underachiever?

You’ve got a lot done just since Sunday! Is the lower right photo the shawl? It is really pretty.
You might look at your linky party. It says it doesn’t open until noon Tuesday, or thereabouts.
Thanks! Most of it was over the weekend. Yes, the shawl is called Regina Marie, and is done border first and then short rows make the body. > >
Your afghan is so pretty, Chris, Now I noticed that you made each square with a new stitch, as a sampler.. I love its color too. All the quilts are beautiful. You sure had a produtive week. Good lucky with this week goals. Happy stitching/quilting.
Thanks Ivani! It was a productive weekend. Now to see if I can make it a productive week! > >
Glad you made progress on your afghan knitting! Is each square different? Thanks for hosting us each week!
Hi Chris! You’ve made great progress on your shawl! That sure is a lovely colored yarn for it! I’m thrilled to see you working on the afghan – woohoo! The sashing for the animal quilt looks like fun. Great job on progressing your list along – good luck with this week’s list. Thanks for the linky party! ~smile~ Roseanne
I’m hoping to cut out all of the “house parts” for my Humble Homes quilt now that I have all the fusible ironed on. And now that the rows are all constructed for Roll On (baby quilt), I hope to get the flimsy finished by the weekend. Those are really the only 2 things on my priority list for this week as I have to work a couple of the days.
Your homes are so cute! Good luck in getting your goals crossed off the list! > >
Looks like you’ve had a productive week. The shawl is looking so pretty!
Hi,
Great projects to be working on. Can’t wait to see the
baby quilt your working on. Have a great day!
Thanks! The top is done and now to figure out how to quilt it! That’s always the stumbling block. > >
You have magical hands! Your knitting work is lovely! I love that afghan! That quilt is going to be lovely. Thank you so much for hosting To Do Tuesday!
Aw, thanks! I need to learn to not have so many thins going at once! I feel like a mother with too many children to attend to. LOL! > >
I can’t wait to see the animal baby quilt. Pretty shawl!
Thank you! I am deciding on the quilting motif and planning to get it quilted this week. > >
You’ve got a good list going there! I am working on my sweater, a cowl and a shawl. I’m just going to work on each one a bit through the week and see what gets done – the sweater and shawl will definitely take a while, but the cowl might get done this week. Not definitely, but maybe!
It’s always a juggling act, trying to give each item attention. But fun to have such variety! > >
True! It keeps everything interesting 🙂
You’ve gotten lots done the last week. Good luck with this week’s to do list.
Thanks. It’s a never ending stream of projects around here! > >
I’ve left many mistakes in my crocheted projects and only I know they’re there! Looks like a fun week at your house.
Yes, there are many “design features” in my knitting! LOL > >
Love the red knitting sampler! Hugs
Thank you! It’s going to done by July or else I suck at being a knitter anymore! 😁
>
Nice projects! Wash and Rinse is turning out beautiful!
Thank you! I still have some seaming to do, but baby quilt making was more important this week. I will push to get it done next week. > >
Easy Peasy! I have only two ‘chores’ on my list and then I will sit-a lot for the next week with family! A little dishcloth knitting will happen is all!
I will get to devote all my time to knitting on Saturday when we head south for a friend’s Bday party. Then the drive back on Sunday will be another opportunity to get the shawl and Afghan progressed. Enjoy your visiting! > >
Hello Chris. I created my post but forgot to link up. I was happy to see that your linky was still open.
I love the quilt in the center photo – gorgeous! Those squares coming in from the four corners really draws your eyes to the centrer.
I altered the placement of a few blocks. It’s going to be interesting to quilt! Thanks
