It's the first of March and this month's color is Orange! This morning I pieced some 16 patch blocks and cut some 5" tumblers and 2.5" squares.
The orange knitted dishcloth in the picture was my first attempt to change yarn colors within a knitted project. I need to practice that trick, however I think my knitted dishcloths look better using only one color of yarn.
To see what others made with their orange scraps this week, go here.
I LIKE that orange! It just looks happy, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely bunch of projects under the rainbow!
ReplyDeleteYummy oranges. (I know oranges - I've got 2 trees full. Gotta get the ladder out, and the courage stoked and get them picked off pretty soon or I'll be sharing space with a bunch of bees.)
ReplyDeleteYours are great. Did you make strips and sew them together and then cut across for the 16 patches? Or do you place each square? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Hugs
Beautiful mix here, as usual, Sheila! Dishcloth looks great too!
ReplyDeleteI love your orange blocks. I must pull out the orange quilt I started last year and finish it.
ReplyDeleteLove the oranges!

ReplyDeletePretty blocks and lots of future quilts started. I have not figured out switching yarn.....kudo's to you for trying all these new knitting things and figuring them out.
ReplyDeleteOh my...I love your orange fabrics!
ReplyDeleteNice bunch of blocks. Your knitted dish cloth is really nice. How fun to make it in Orange!
ReplyDeleteOff to a great start with orange this month! Even a dishcloth to match.
ReplyDeleteYummy looking oranges! I think an orange dishcloth is just what my kitchen needs - wonder if I can find any orange cotton yarn? Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGreat Oranges. Good to get those 16 patches done early this month.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to add in some knitting. Everything looks happy and cheerful.

ReplyDeleteYour orange blocks are looking great! I downloaded a dishcloth pattern this week so I can play with making some of those for gifts :*)
