Placemats

I was going to make four, but these are a lot of work. Perhaps I will complete the set for Christmas next year.

I do love the look of recycled jeans.

New sewing room

It has light (boy, does it!), new furniture, is about halfway sorted, and needs paint.

Update

Having recently moved, there hasn't been much time for the crafting. The new sewing room is much bigger, but lacks lighting. I've also decided to get some new furniture for it, and it's taking a while to assemble. Hopefully, it will be photo-ready in another month.

A t-shirt quilt

This is actually something I made way back, maybe 7 years ago, for my in-laws. They used to do the Jingle Bell Run every year and they'd get a t-shirt.

What to do with the rest of the sweatshirt

I cut it into 4 in. squares and used it as batting in a crib-size rag quilt of 5 in. squares of quilt weight cotton. It worked well. It's not as fluffy as cotton batting, but it has a nice weight, is sturdy, and is green!

Just a little receiving/swaddling blanket

I had a rather large price of Pooh printed fleece. This wasn't regular fleece, it was much thinner and the printing much more detailed. It was left over from a crib quilt back. That wasn't the best way to use the material, as the unprinted side was softest. I realized that this would be a great material for a swaddling or receiving blanket. Fortunately, I had just enough for one! Bound with some pink flannel scraps, I think it turned out quite cute for such a quick and easy project.

Still trying to knit...

Tension, and thus gauge, is my knitting nemesis. I am trying alternate methods of knitting that can help with this, allow me to knit faster, and won't hurt my hands as much. So far, I am pleased with the Knook. I have a tendency to pull too tight, and this method seems immune to that.
