Here are my goodies from yesterday's shopping spree. The fabric worked out to about $1 per yard. I'm not sure what I'll do with all of it yet, but I'm prepared for lots of Christmas presents!
I think this will be the last of the crocheted scarves for a while. I did enjoy making them, but I much prefer thread crochet to crocheting with yarn.
I finished another woven scarf today as well. If we get any snow this winter, I know this scarf will keep Dave warm when he's clearing the driveway!
So far, I'm really enjoying tatting the Jan Stawasz doily. It's a pretty straightforward pattern. All I need to do is stay focused!
Wow, your fabric cupboard is well stocked! I mean to prewash fabric, but don't always get around to it. At one time I thought that modern fabrics didn't require it, but that's not necessarily true. I look forward to seeing what happens to them all, and your other projects too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful bargain for the fabric - more projects for you to think about! And you seem to be able to whip up a scarf at the drop of a hat! I'm so impressed with your loom skills!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm even more amazed that you're starting the 'monster' doily! I get weak in the knees (and wrists!) just thinking about it! I really wouldn't have the patience! It will be fun to follow your progress.
Happy New Year to you and your family, and I know you'll have a great time with the Tollway Tatters!
I'm really jealous of your fabric stash!!! Mine's looking very depleted nowadays. Time for me to shop, I guess but I'll have to use eBay as there's nowhere near me that isn't drop dead mega expensive.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteNice stash! I love a good bargain. Yes, I always wash my cotton fabric before I sew too.
I live bargains and your fabric stash will last a while,
ReplyDeleteI always wash everything including my tatting when I finish the item.
Great scarfs.
Watching your progress on the doily.
Happy new year to you and your family

I love the fabrics that you've got - just nice for next year's Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteAnd that tatting piece is going to be a blast.
oh, I wish we had those fabric bargains here! Nice stash. You've been busy with loom, hook and shuttle......love the results. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI try to pre-wash material before I use it but it doesn't always happen. But it looks like a great new stash! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start on the new year.
