I've lost my quilting mojo for the moment :) Somehow, the idea of taking my beautiful fabric and cutting it into pieces does not appeal to me at all.
I'm sure it's just a temporary thing and I'll be obsessively cutting
and quilting in no time, but for now I've been doing some knitting.
I made this so very "me" Mara shawl (free pattern can be found here). It was such an easy and super enjoyable knit.
I so love the simplicity of this shawl and I've been wearing it every day since I finished it :)
I then made a second Mara shawl, this time using a little thicker yarn so the whole thing came together even quicker.
Can you tell I really like this pattern? Only this time I sort of spaced out on the edging and ended up with a slightly different shawl :)
And, I'm still thinking about making one more of these shawls, but in some brighter color. Maybe something yellow or red??? Or I might try this shawl instead. After all, I still have two more weeks of very limited walking allowed :( Yes, this ankle surgery recovery has been a lot more difficult than I expected and I'm so ready to get rid of the ugly giant plastic boot I have to wear.
Have a wonderful weekend friends. Svetlana
