MishMash

No planning involved!  Time to stay home for this round robin….you are in charge of what goes next.  No need to hand your lovely medallion to some unknown person to add something ugly to the border. Just stay home and relax!  This is also a way to use up those orphan blocks.

Quilting Gail is hosting another round robin where you stay home==You and your centre block and the borders all stay home. You have to make the decisions as to what to add when given directions. How big, how many … it’s up to you.  Several bloggers are working along with you so there may be short tutorials on some of their blogs.

Find that perfect center block and begin--this is a opportunity to use orphan blocks like I did in 2022 Round Robin
Here is my stay at home RR 2022

This is the center block, surrounded by signature blocks

Here’s a way to use your fabric scraps!! Love these scrappy blocks—of course, my favorite border will always to star points (flying geese)  Check out Fat Quarter Shoppe for this scrappy sew along.
Also at Fat Quarter Shoppe, you can find the 2024 charity quilt Moonbeams pattern


Stash yarn?  Yelp—always!  Here begins Musselburgh hat pattern ( you can find the pattern on several sites).  Just knit, knit, knit…..once you have mastered casting on 8 stitches to 4 double pointed needles!

All thumbs at first!
Well, it’s there; don’t know why there is one long stitch in the middle—it’s all good, will take care of it later
As you increase, knitting becomes easier!  Hat will grow. 
After fiddling with the start of this, many days later, I stumbled upon tutorial of how to do pinhole cast one from 
Definitely, a game changer!!

Still haven’t finished the advent scarf—it’s become another UFO to finish in 2024–
BUT, I did cast on  pair of socks, using very aged yarn!  Yes!! Hope to finish these socks to wear, sometime soon…
