MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Proof


Here is some proof that something else other than working on barns happens here at Chez Magpie...

Our littlest 'grand' is currently in like with Paw Patrol and his favourite character happens to be 'Chase'.  I stumbled across this pattern and of course it had his name on it in glowing neon so what's a grandma to do?  The pattern is HERE  (there are several other characters that come with the pattern) and I used Paton's Astra yarn.  If you embiggen the picture hopefully you can see the amazing buttons I found - they came all the way from Ireland! 
  


(just realized that you can't embiggen the picture, so here's a better one of the buttons)

    You are so talented to whip up a sweater. Of course Mr. G & I love the colors. Same as University of KY in nearby Lexington. The Victorian Quilters website is a GREAT resource. Thank-you. Yes, laughter is contagious. I had to share it on further to my FB friends. Thanks for the good belly laugh.

      I think that's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I went to our local bookstore today to try to order a copy of the book and it's being re-published - wonder if it's on the strength of that video alone?!

    You knit too! Of course, I knew you did, but still... I'm amazed at your talents. The sweater is wonderful. And those buttons - awesome. What a great find.

      Yes I knit - but not very well. I can manage a simple project and this sweater is about the limit of my abilities. I can't imagine how people knit with all sorts of colours and don't end up throwing themselves off the nearest bridge.

    There will be another very happy grandson who receives this great jacket.
    I searched for the Wonky Donky book but came across this link to the same book. Author's permission was received..well worth watching.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
