I knit on the red Washinton Scarf. I'm very close to the end now and hope to have it finished, blocked and giftwrapped this week.
I cast on Polly, a cropped cardigan for my daughter in the Madelinetosh Vintage (colour Lepidotra).
Great stitch definition for the bottom ruffled edge. Its a quick knit which I hope to have finished within two weeks.
I made up a few cushions in preparation for my daughters bedroom makeover. the joinery is going to be installed on Wednesday. I made a bolster cushion and two scatter cushions, then my sewing machine broke down.
I also need to repaint her timber desk chair to coordinate with her new colour scheme.
The rose fabric motif would make a very cute chair pad.
I'm waiting on the rose screen printed fabric because its being used for her large wall panels and I won't get the surplus until after installation, so a delay caused by a lack of sewing machine isn't the end of the world (even though it felt bad when it failed to stitch)
Lots of yarn arrived this week and I'm seeing a colour theme emerging.

For the coming week, obviously no sewing, unless I am brave and make friends with the new overlocker sitting in the craft room.
Finishing the scarf of course, finishing the cream Aslan Trends Invernal Sweater too (one and a bit sleeves to go) and working on the little cropped cardigan.
