The matching hat is finished!!

Here are the promised photos of the hat that matches the cabled sweater and mittens. It is very cute. If I make it again though I will make the "scarf" ties a little longer. I also had to learn two new techniques to complete this project; wrap and turn on short row shaping and the cable cast-on. Learning is good!

Although I have the big Vogue Knitting Book. I usually find myself looking things up online where you can even get video demonstrations. How many of you are familiar with knittinghelp.com ? It is a great resource! Check it out

The Quilt is finished!!!

Here are the promised photos of the completed quilt, close up of the Aunt Grace fabric in the 9 patch blocks, and close up of the binding and the label. After the binding was applied I started to like it better than I had before. Still not exactly what I was looking for but good.
What do you think? I think I should always make small quilts so that they get done!LOL
