A Pattern for Murder

This quilt is called A Pattern for Murder. Each month in 2022 I received a chapter of a book and a quilting pattern to go with it. The murder occurred near the lighthouse. The climax came on a fishing boat. The markings on the individual buoys held the key to discovering the culprit. It was displayed at my local quilt show.

Connect Cowl/Infinity Scarf

This cowl was part of a Knit a long sponsored by Fibre Space, a yarn store in Alexandria, Virginia, that I joined January 1st. I took part in a Zoom meeting with the designer the beginning of February. I learned new techniques. It was to be a cowl but I like infinity scarves.

Fan and Feather scarf

The yarn and pattern are from a 2019 Advent Yarn calendar. The yarn is from Southern Skeins. This is a fun pattern to knit. It is a 4-row repeat. I completed the scarf and gave it to my daughter as part of an Advent calendar I made her for 2020.

This is a fan and feather pattern. I am making another scarf using the same pattern from my 2022 Advent Yarn calendar yarn.

Knit Cow hat

This hat was made as a baby shower gift.

Both parents are involved in farming.

The book One-Stitch Baby Knits by Val Pierce was the inspiration for this hat. The book has lots of great easy garter stitch patterns.

Rocket Quilt

 This rocket quilt was for a baby shower gift.

The quilting in the top left corner is a half sun with rays radiating outwards.

Jelly roll quilt

 

This is a jelly roll quilt. Or more precisely a jelly roll race quilt. I had it completed for a few years but didn't know how I would quilt it. I decided to use the fancy stitches on my sewing machine. I really enjoy the colors.

Socks

 

My daughter challenged me to make socks. I hadn't made any in 10 years. I learned a lot. I hope she enjoys them.
