Sometimes I do more than quilt.
Not often...but sometimes.
<<< See.... I made this
Actually it's the 6th scarf I've made and the 3rd one made with Bamboo yard.  I love this stuff!!   It is shimmery and slick but soft.
I still have one more color way to use (black/white) and then I'll try to make one stripped scarf out of all the leftovers.
Waste not...want not.  Isn't that what they say?

I crochet mostly.   Especially with this yarn.
I can knit...but not as well as I can crochet.  It's been too many years since I've knit that it just feels awkward to me.   But I did pick up a couple of skeins of worsted so I can try my hand at knitting again.

Maybe it will be like riding a bike....it'll all come back to me. ..... Maybe!

And then again.....it may not be pretty at all.

I've finished another scarf today that I made using Bamboo yarn.  Even tho this yarn is a bit more difficult to use because it's so slick...I just love the feel and the look of a project when finished.  I don't think I'd try to knit with it but I can easily crochet it.
I did my own thing as far as a pattern went.  I cast on as many stitches that I thought would work and then did a simple double crochet + 2 stitches until I reached the length I wanted.
I have one more colorway of the bamboo yarn to use so I'll go searching for another easy pattern.

It's a cool 61 degrees today and BBQ ribs are in the crock pot.  I'm heading back to my quilting room to attach binding to a quilt that has been much too long in the UFO pile.  And since it's a rather ugly quilt (the 2nd quilt I made and didn't choose the right fabrics) I've decided to do all the binding by machine.
Have a good day and ....Thanks for stopping by....
