From curtains to...grocery bag

My dear friend Marilyn gifted me her dining room curtains when it was time to redo the room.  Wow, they were 100% linen in a lovely light carmel colour.



I confess I have a thing about mismatched fabric grocery bags and so I cut apart our local Co-op's plastic bag and used it for the pattern.



I was pretty pleased with the result.  How about you...

I've been Knitting a Sweater

I usually buy the Knit Simple magazine when I have the urge for a new project.  Well, this spring I was instantly taken by the first pattern in the magazine.  The lace detail is a honeybee design that I liked instantly.  Here's how mine turned out.

And now for the back....extra cute....

I started it on May 16th and finished a few days ago.  Yeah!  Don't you love finishing things??

My Sweater, my sweater

Wow, with all the summer time travel I finished all the pieces of my lacy knit sweater.  It's from the spring/summer 2013 issue of Knit Simple magazine.

It's currently drying outside.  Then I will begin sewing it all together.
