She knits! She makes these incredible blankets/throws. Like every craft now days... has taken a modern twist. Fabric has come a long way from the brown brown and more brown quilts that comes to mind when you think about quilting. Same with scrapbooking, and papers, and now also with wool. There are so many amazing colours, textures, sequins, bobbles, feathers...and all sorts of great weaves.
I was lucky enough to get her very first one... and from here,... it snowballed. She made one for each for my kids, for family, friends and seems like every one is putting in their order!

So she basically has done "one in every color." My friend Jessica would LOVE that. Oh, and Jessie is a super knitter...and quilter. She even has a tag on her blog called "one in every color": http://www.jhrme.blogspot.com/search/label/One%20In%20Every%20Color
ReplyDeleteSo of course I am forwarding this post to her. She will love it so much!!
And my granddaughter's name is Charlotte (love that name....) so I'm sure is a very sweet baby who will love your quilt.
They are awesome. So much texture!
ReplyDeletethose throws are sooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous knitting...love those throws! I love wools like I love fabric!
ReplyDeleteVery cool throws! And I agree with you about quilting - scrapbooking is fine, but a quilt is so much better - you can hold it, cuddle up in it, pass it down for generations - it just does so much more than a scrapbook page!
ReplyDeleteThe throws look great - and they look very cozy!
ReplyDeleteReally nice throws. Yours looks great on your couch! So warm and snuggly too.
ReplyDeleteI bet they are very warm, cuddly and snuggly!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful knitted blankets! Perfect for snuggling under. I love the luscious colours and textures.
ReplyDeleteHey Becky, Lori passed on your blog info to me, and I am really enjoying all your beautiful projects. I'm not sure if you remember meeting me when we were in Australia last year, but thanks for sharing your talents with us. My daughter is a knitter and so I am sure will enjoy seeing these beautiful blankets.
ReplyDeleteHey I love those knitted throws. Is there a pattern for this or any hints would be great as would love to make one. Thank you
ReplyDeleteToo cool! I love the way each block has so much depth!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info on this knitted throw. I am knitting up a storm, so quick....my kinda knitting.

Hello Rebecca! Thank you for your great Quilt Class again! I have just been thinking about washing...I wash always but now I was thinking if someone buys smaller pieces it's difficult to pre wash them.
ReplyDeleteThese throws are really beautiful! As I love fabric, I love also yarn! I have been knitting all my life and sewing my cloths - just a little bit over an year I have find the passion for quilting and patchwork!
I wish you Happy Easter! Teje
