Ice Drop tutorial

Sunday, April 30, 2017

Rainy Sunday

It was another dreary day, and it looks like it will be a blustery day tomorrow. Luckily, I have plenty to keep me busy!


I started the day off with an Ice Drop, of course! I'm still working from the same ball of size 20 Lizbeth #124, Spring Garden.


I've been neglecting my sister-in-law's runner, so I picked it up again today and added one motif. If I would only take the time to work on one motif a day, I would have this done pretty quickly.


I managed to work three pattern repeats on my band. Each pattern repeat is 22 picks (rows), and the repeat is 1 1/4" long. I feel like I'm getting better with the band weaving. I've been checking the width  after each pick to make sure it's a consistent 3/4". I was very pleased that I made no mistakes today!


I've also been neglecting my Renulek doily. I did manage two pattern repeats today, so I'm a little more than 1/4 of the way around.


One last Ice Drop in Spring Garden finished off my day, which turned out to be pretty productive!

  2. I agree with muskaan! Looks as though you're really getting the hang of the weaving. And making progress on the other projects too.

    Beautiful ice drops, the runner is looking good, the Renuleks may is also going to be lovely.
