our weather was a little better but still only 50.
It sounds like you got a lot accomplished today again CJ. Your comet quilt will be amazing.
Ginny, it's great that your felted wool arrived so that you can get started on Christmas gifts. There's less than eight weeks to Christmas now.
I started a hat today that looked beautiful on YOutube but didn't look all that great in the yarn I was using so ripped it out and started a different one. I also did quite a bit of cooking and a little baking.
Now back to crocheting this hat before it gets later.

Hello Everyone - Hope you are all doing well today It's pretty warm here - high 70s, but it's been cloudy with a few showers today. I was lucky and found some more of the white fabric in my stash, so I am going to make all 20 blocks for the Comet quilt now. I have all the pieces cut and I made all the hourglass blocks today, I just need to trim them - 60 of them! Then I need to make 5 more of the 16 patch blocks, but I have the fabric ready to do that. Hopefully I can get this quilt top put together by the end of this week. Hope you all get to do some crafting today - take care!

CJ- I am so very glad you found that you had more of the white fabric in your stash! (After I put you through that whole tortured tale about the antique quilt with the 2 different reds). 60 is a lot of hourglass blocks to trim, but it should go easily for you now.
Ruth, do you think the problem with the hat was the yarn, the pattern or both? Hope you are happy with the hat that you are making now. Its so much easier to work on a project when you are happy with it.
Like CJ- got 70 + degree weather, but honestly its humid and is not really comfortable. Think more seasonable temps in a day or so. I am looking forward to that. I made copies of the ornament pattern and will start cutting felt in a few minutes. The directions (based upon what was sold to me) are a bit confusing, but I think I figured it out and will be able to get busy making a simple ornament before I move onto the pin cushion. It looks like a fun project.

CJ, I'm happy that you found more of the white. 60 blocks is a lot! How large is each block?
Ginny,I think that the hat didn't look right because the videographer made hers in a thinner, lighter weight yarn with a smaller hook. Unlike most of those that make videos, she didn't say what the yarn or hook was.Some of those in other countries leave out a lot. I'm sure you're going to be able to make great ornaments despite the confusing directions.
See you all tomorrow
