christychristine Designs: July 2010
http://christychristine.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 1, 2010. Thanks to my renewed obsession with quilting, I decided to make a quilt for my husband and I as a first anniversary present. I had bought the fabric oh so long ago when In the Beginning closed (yep, people still remember that place even though it was about 5-6 years ago). I decided to pull out a pattern I had done for a friend's wedding, and started cutting away! I gave it to Josh unfinished (without the binding) with a promise to have it done soon.

christychristine Designs: September 2010
http://christychristine.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 24, 2010. I enjoy very much doing things for other people. Whether it is quilting for Lutheran World Relief, knitting presents for friends, or even knitting for non-profits. Last weekend, the choir that I am in (Cora Voce) had a benefit concert. It was a great evening of entertainment, and I love that we over-sold the event. We had people packed into the church in Tacoma. Here's to donating for good causes! Wednesday, September 8, 2010. Taking time to update and finish what I started.

christychristine Designs: Vacation knits!
http://christychristine.blogspot.com/2013/03/vacation-knits.html
Sunday, March 10, 2013. I love knitting on the plane, in cars on the way to destinations, while sitting beside a pool and relaxing, and pretty much any other opportunity that vacations allow. Vacation knitting started early for me. One of my first scarves was made on my way to visiting my friend Jessie in Japan, then later that year, my first pair of socks were knit while in Australia. Long live knitting, vacations, and definitely vacation knits! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, February 17, 2010. If so, I might have to look at Goodwill to reclaim and make myself a new sweater! Monday, February 15, 2010. Knitting with Harry Potter. Aah, what a lovely day for knitting! Here I am on President's day with a full day ahead of me! I am continuing to push myself to finish the unending pair of knee-high socks. Maybe with 6 movies ahead of me, I can put a good dent into my progress! Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have self-knitting needles like Mrs. Weasley!

christychristine Designs: RED! Sweater
http://christychristine.blogspot.com/2013/02/red-sweater.html
Sunday, February 3, 2013. For the longest time, I have wanted a red sweater. I haven't had any rules about what it needs to look like, just a longing for a warm red sweater that I will wear for years. I never really found one in stores that I truly loved. Apparently I am a picky shopper. It called to me. make a sweater. you always wanted a red sweater! Here's a picture of the sweater in progress! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, June 22, 2010. New Knitting Pattern - Lace Medallion Slipper Socks. I have added a new pattern once more to my ravelry page. These fun socks include thicker soles and circular cables.

christychristine Designs: Quilt Shop Hop
http://christychristine.blogspot.com/2013/06/quilt-shop-hop.html
Thursday, June 20, 2013. This week is the 2013 Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop. This will be my second shop hop, after my first last year. While my mom and sister got their quilt squares finished within months, I hadn't started my squares by the end of last year. Early on this year, I decided to do two things to prepare for this year:. 1 Take Friday off (2 days out of 5 isn't long enough). While the shop hop goes Wednesday - Sunday, I knew adding one day would make a big difference.

christychristine Designs: November 2009

Friday, November 20, 2009. Pride and Prejudice, and knitting! Aah, two obsessions side by side! As I thought through what was going to be a good knitting afternoon, I pondered watching some good Austen fun! At 1pm, I started watching A&E's Pride and Prejudice while getting started on two new projects. Now, after just watching the lake scene (I. I had made some fingerless gloves a few years ago and never made a matching hat although I had bought the yarn. Now, after a long time, it will be used up. This N...

Sunday, February 17, 2013. So, I am not too crazy about the precious stone. Yep, diamonds aren't this girl's best friend. That's a long story and not one for this blog post. However, making diamonds in patterns is a whole different story. A few short (or long) years ago, my sister Katy made me a gorgeous short-row hat in Noro. I made Josh one as well and it was so much fun. I didn't have enough Noro for a full scarf, so added a neutral blue for the edging. This is what came out of it:. And, to attempt to...
