I have now made this sweater twice. A few of the things I did differently on this sweater are that I did spit splicing of the yarn. Will I do it again? I am not sure. I am still very nervous that the splices will not hold especially on a blend yarn. I spliced fairly long grafts to help hold and now all I can do is pray that this sweater designed to be worn by a very active little girl will hold up during normal wear and tear. I also used much smaller need

I had a great day at our local quilt show Saturday. I bought some fat quarters. How could I not?? I bought a few new polka dots, some civil war repos to use in my frinedship star blocks and a few 30's fabrics. I also spent a big chunk of change on some Shiva paintsticks and some preprinted muslin post card backs. I really want to make some fabric post cards despite the fact that I have almost no imagination!! I sure wish I had some of the creativity that my friend Carol has. Of course her creativity cost her quite a bit more at the same booth as she bought a "bunch" of Angelina fibers to play with!!
Well enough of my musings for today. I have gotten all my fun chores done and must go do the less fun stuff before heading out to work for the week. Hopefully we will be less crazy at work this week and I can get more progress done on sock #2 of the Chain Links so I can move on to some more colorful socks that are just waiting in the wings to be made!!
