I'm a quilter!!!

So tell me.....

how do these things follow me home?


My sister-in-law convinced me this one (Flirty) is quick and easy. 

I picked this merino wool in a colorway call "solitude".  

When I went into the yarn shop, I saw Peacock's Pride made up and just had to have it.  


I still need to go back and find a contrasting yarn that will go with this beautiful turquoise. 

But...this one is done in brioche knitting.

I don't know how to do brioche knitting.  

What was I thinking?

But.....I want it.

Oh...help me.

  2. They follow you home because they are lovely & you have good taste!!! Being a quilter means you have an eye for color and design...and hands must be constantly creating. Never fear, never fight it - and remember - we all understand:-) Can you imagine days without some form of fiber? Please keep us posted on brioche knitting - that is a new term to this wannabee knitter too....

    Knitting is something I wish to master one day.
    For now, I am happy to admire the work of others.

  4. What a beautiful design you have selected. I know nothing about about the stitch you are going to be working with.
    I noticed your Food For Thought above and at first glance thought it said "money" and not "memory". I think I would have a lot of fun unpacking a treasure chest of money more than packing it. LOL!
