I decided to take a trip around the world with Bonnie from Quiltville. I have made her pattern before and really like the simplicity of it. These are the fabrics I will be using. This is acutally a picture of the strips sewen together before ironing the seams.
I received my order from Knit Picks today. Oh, I am very happy with the yarn. I need to finish what I have started before I can begin to open any of these skeins. I plan to use the white for socks. I will dye it as I want it done.
The colored skeins will be used in felted booties. I will work on then through out the year and give as Christmas gifts. I do have another order coming. I want to knit a couple pair of mittens and had to order the yarn for that. I am so excited that I found this site.
Well on to sewing. Have a good evening. Dot

Oooh -- those snails trails look great and so does that yarn. I've been drooling over some things on the Knit Picks site for awhile now...hmmmnn...
Great blocks! Love the colors of the yarn!
The strips are beautiful! I love the SITP blocks. They look advanced!
The quilts in progress are looking lovely.
And that yarn!!! Yum!!! I love their stuff...but then I'm pretty much a newbie in yarn shopping and usage. Mama always says: Practice, practice, practice! ;-)
Great blocks! And that yarn - oh what fun. I just keep thinking I should try a little harder to learn to knit. When I see all that yarn I just want to dive right in *s*
Love the snails trails...i'll be watching to see what they become!
I fell in love with SITP quilts a couple of years ago at an outdoor quilt show and thought I'd like to make one eventually. The yarn is lovely. I haven't purchased from knitpics but I do listen to the podcast. What weight is the yarn? Worsted? or fingering?
Your snails trails look wonderful. Great progress! I'm hoping to finish my circle quilt soon so I can get started on those.
I have made one trip around the world quilt, and it was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to make more eventually. Probably should quilt the one I made first though.
Beautiful yarn! I plan on making a yarn purchase soon. I'll have to check out Knit Picks.
