Silver Bags: Sewing bags with pacific cloth to protect silver. Sounds posh. 😉Experimenting with the embroidery feature on Bernina to make a label to identify contents.

Garden Redesign: I’ve created a project page.
Kelly’s Projects
I finished the Study Hall Shawl by Sarah Schira. It still needs to be blocked. It was a fun mosaic pattern. I had a lot of the red left over so I made the first charity hat of 2026. Used the fingering yarn held double. Donated it during our March heat wave and yet gone in less than a day. So satisfying!
I finished the chenille rugs by the weave along deadline.
Still working on the Seatoller Socks by Louise Tillbrook. I’m on the gusset of the first sock. One cable stops at the heel and the other carries down the outer side of the top of the foot.
Started my second Color Work Knit-a-long project. German Shepherd Hat by Teresa Cremers. I only used the pattern for the motif and I reworked it a bit to make the tail longer and lower. I had to swatch in order to get the numbers for my fingering yarn. I’ve finished with the hemmed brim and the dog motifs and now need to add some paws or dog bones for the crown motifs. I have about an inch or so before I start the decreases.
I started spinning Ernest, a dark brown merino fleece from 2017 with silk carded in. This first batch is from the first batch I washed and there are some little felted bits in it. But it’s still a gorgeous spin. Looking forward to carding and spinning some of the better parts of this fleece if the worst of it is this nice.
My knitting belt arrived. I ordered it from BobnWeave on Etsy. I haven’t used it yet since it just arrived. But I’m looking forward to practicing on it and then knitting the Acht hat.
