I mist 3 squares individually & pin down the 3 in a stack on top of each other on the blocking boards. Let them dry in sun, or overnight in doors.

I bought the granny square blocking set and loved it when doing my cardigan. But I understand not wanting to acquire yet another piece of equipment. Could you use longer pins and stack 2 or 3 squares on your blocking mat ( with a little space between them. it is still a bunch of pins, but not quite as many as blocking each one individually. Love the colors, but then again, I love all the Sweet Georgia colors!

I'd tend to suggest that you add your third party of five set of skeins sooner rather than later, and mix them in with the existing colours, so that the squares from the third party don't look like an afterthought. If it were my cardigan, I'd probably go for the brighter colours, or perhaps the pinks - but definitely start mixing them in. EDIT: I like your colour choices much better than the ones in the photograph of the pattern, the ones in the pattern really weren't doing it for me.

Lovely! DK minis are such a cool idea. I’ve fallen down the crochet hole and haven’t looked back. I especially like combining the crafts when it makes sense, like knitted ribbing is cleaner than crochet ribbing so that’s a good sub. Someone needs to make a book of socks with a crochet motif on the leg and knitted parts where it makes sense. Actually, crank a tube on the csm, crochet a bit, and finish it off as you like. Sorry to go off topic, nice Jethro! 😂❤❤❤

@elishevahgodfrey38883 күн бұрын
If you turn your work for each round, you don't have to block your granny squares. Also, combining the double magic circle technique with the 2-ends granny square technique will leave you with only one end to weave in for each square.

My first project on my floor loom with a sectional back beam I had some warp that I had taken off my rigid heddle, too sticky for it, but it was cut to equal lengths and stored. I easily wound it on my sectional beam. No other equipment. It was about 6 yards long. All that equipment is expensive...I'm thinking to just do it my way for a few years...
@sweetgeorgia9 күн бұрын
@@Sue-ec6un absolutely, my favourite process is just winding a warp on a warping board, rough sleying through a reed and then winding on to a sectional back beam now, rather than winding on section by section. It’s easy and flexible. 👍

Both had activities like making a Japanese doll used to celebrate Girls day, dyeing, weaving and shopping for cloth. I’m not a quilter but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I spent some time by myself after the tour in Tokyo and went through several museums and temples. Similar to London, Japan is known for blending old with new.

A number of years ago I too shared your experience of sitting in the Rothko room at Tate Modern and being totally overwhelmed by the emotions elicited by those great blocks of colour. Thank you for reminding me of that experience. As I have aged my world has become more localised (good for the planet I think) but I still get my colour rush and stimulation from visiting gardens. Plants and gardeners produce wonderful juxtapositions of colour and shapes, just sit in that garden and really absorb the wonder and the emotion.

I visited London and Bath in May. London is absolutely my favorite city for the reasons you cited. The architecture is hugely inspiring for me. So many beautiful and intriguing details down every street! I'm sorry you missed the Rothkos. When I was in London in 2019 we saw Red, a play about the creation of the paintings, with Alfred Molina as Rothko (you can watch it on YT). Then we were able to go and see the canvases. Just wonderful. I worked as a guard in an art museum when I was in college and they had one Rothko in the collection so I am very fortunate to have been able to spend many hours immersed in that painting, feeling its movement and intensity.
