A long overdue VLOGmas update where did all those crafts end up? Did I ever finish the crazy quilt stockings? What were my thoughts on the process of trying to sew and quilt while on the road and on a bus? Did I try any new stitches, and if so, what were they, and how did they turn out? Just general reflections on the whole crazyquilting process and how I felt about it the second time around. I also managed to work my chicken scratch embroidery into the quilted pattern you can even see a glimpse of it in the thumbnail!
What about the blue knit jumper? Well, I had already made a LOT of progress on my knitting, finishing the back of the sweater I'm working on in a previous video, but now I realize that I have a question and a potential question for all the experienced knitters out there regarding color bleed, because these two yarns are VERY different colors, and I'm worried that the dark blue yarn will bleed into the white yarn when I try to block it, so any advice on that would be welcome. I'm very happy that I can continue work on the front of the sweater shortly.
I also do one last Vintage Pattern of the Day session this one is a bit outside of my normal time period (I usually prefer vintage patterns from the 30s and 40s), but these were pretty cheap and VERY fun, so when I saw them at a vintage sale for only $4, I grabbed them, and I can't wait to make them up for the summer!
