It takes hand dyed yarn and makes it into a really neat looking design taking advantage of the long colour repeats.

The Sweet Spot refers to the number of stitches required to make the yarn pool and pattern the way it does.

But I did finally pick up a hand stitching project again - my Connections quilt. I have one section of it done now which currently measures 23 x26 inches.

I’d like to do three more in order to get it up to a usable size for a lap quilt. I’m a good way into the first row of the second section.

I’m linking up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching.
Very cool knitting effect!
ReplyDeleteAnd connections looks like fun and uses up a lot of smaller scraps.
Enjoy your hand stitching today!
Both your knitting and your quilting are quite graphic and very pretty. I am making a scarf that pools much the same way.
ReplyDeleteI really like the connections quilt! Those dark triangles really move the eye around the circles.
