It seems that old familiar feeling is back because I'm knocking them off one by one.
The first thing to be completed was the Clara Dress above. I knit it out of a ball of sock yarn, and it didn't even take the entire ball. It was a really fun knit, very easy and fast.
The color of the yarn is a gray/lavender/pinky color. Same color as my security blanket when I was a kid! More details on Ravelry.
I also finished a secret project for a secret person, so more about that later. It was wondering if I would ever finish it, but I did and it turned out even nicer than I was expecting.
Next up is the 9 patch quilt for my niece. I only had borders to quilt and binding and label to make and put on. The quilt itself is quite small, and taking me around 2-3 hours per side to quilt the border.
2 of the sides are done already, so I'm on a roll. With any luck, the momentum will keep on flowing.
And in the mail, arrived the cutest pair of scissors on earth from my favorite Kathie. I'll be playing around with them on my applique projects that I have in flight in order to put through their paces. Stay tuned for a full report on Karen Kay Buckley's "perfect scissors".

That is the most darling dress I have ever seen! Makes me wish I could knit.
Me too - I can't knit either! However, I am starting to quilt, so I may post up my results if it's any good. It's a great feelings isn't it when you get loads of nagging things finished and done! xCathy
