With so many projects cleared out recently, I’m able to start a few new things. Top of the agenda is Dave’s birthday. It’s not until July, but if I want to make him something, I do need to get started soon.
A few weeks back, I’d ordered some special Fat Quarters from Missouri Star Quilts.
It’s the Stonehenge Solstice 10th Anniversary Special Edition collection. Northcott Fabrics is holding a quilt contest. I’m not going to enter, but the fabrics are perfect for a quilt for Dave. I just have to decide on a pattern.
About the same time that the fabric arrived, my Knitpicks order with the yarn for Nera arrived too. To get to the free shipping, I’d added some extras in – one was the yarn for Hitchiker (which is going swimmingly), the other was a couple balls of Felici…
I was amazed how well it matched the quilting fabric! I almost always make Dave a pair of socks for his birthday. That they will match his quilt is just kismet!
Since Dad’s socks were off the needles, I wasted no time casting on for Dave’s…
That material is to die for!!!

Gorgeous fabrics! The yarn colors are a bit disappointing in the knit fabric, but still pretty.

I admire those who can knit socks for men. It just seems like such a daunting task to me. Their feet are just to darn big. š
