Introducing.....'Dancing Sky'!
FOR SALE!
measures approx. 22 x 18"
All this cold weather means I've been staying inside and playing in my sewing room. This one was super fun to make and I'm almost sorry it's done. I'm also sorry that a photo doesn't really show the sparkle/shimmer it has. I think you can click on it to embiggen it so perhaps a larger size might show it better. My inspiration was a colouring page I found on the internet.
- Thank you to Canadian Needle Nana for THIS rabbit hole (don't say I didn't warn you!!)
- And thanks to Joy of Days Filled With Joy for THIS roundup of some fun-looking block of the months, as well as a downloadable page to help you keep track.
- If you're looking for something to create for Valentine's, perhaps THIS would be fun.
- I don't know if you've seen the knit or crocheted 'Melt the ICE' hats , but the pattern is available HERE for a nominal charge.
I came across this 'quote' and it made me stop and think...wow, who knew there were THAT many stitches in a pair of socks....I think I should lie down until I recover...

That took no time! I hope it finds a good home.
ReplyDeleteI hope it does too. This one didn't have much embroidery so it took a little less time, plus which I think I might have been a tad obsessed with it.
DeleteI just spent a while on jigidi completing a puzzle. Oh dear, another place to play!
ReplyDeleteWell, I DID warn you! Have fun.
DeleteWow! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe puzzle pieces on my phone are tiny. 😂

Thanks!
DeleteI think I saw a way on the puzzle site that you can embiggen the pieces...?
It is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteawww - thank you Linda!
DeleteSherryofcreateology: Dancing Sky is Beautiful! I knew hand knit socks had a lot of love put into them but I certainly had no idea it takes 35,000 stitches! WOW! And when I think of all the socks you have knit for your Christmas boxes each year…WHEW!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should put a copy of the 35,000 stitch thing in with every pair of socks I make?
DeleteWhoa--that many stitches??? who knew???:)))
ReplyDeleteYour dancing sky is just beautiful--such a lovely finish--love the bear...hugs, Julierose
Yes, who knew indeed! I was astounded when I saw that but when I sat down and did a rough estimate on the ones I make, it's not far out. (and thank you - glad you like the landscape)
DeleteThat is amazing. I love this and the polar bear is great.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lot of stitches going into a pair of socks.
God bless.
Thank you Jackie - I'm glad you like it! I surely had fun making it.
DeleteWoW! What a gorgeous finish! I love the shadow of the bear, a lovely addition.
ReplyDeleteYou love a lot of people while making all those fun socks!
I really wanted to create another silouette piece and the bear seemed to be a good addition.
DeleteYes, I guess I must love my family and friends but even I didn't realize just how much!
each stitch is a little prayer, innit?!? 35,000 little prayers every time you gift a pair...
ReplyDeleteyour northern lights!!! wow!!!
Yes, that's a lot of little prayers, but oh so true.
DeleteI have always avoided figuring out how many stitches are in the socks I knit. I don't know that knowing a number would actually stop me from knitting more socks, but I suspect it would make me hesitate!
ReplyDeleteI actually sat and did a rough estimate on the socks I make and I don't think this number is too far off, particularly for the size 13 feet all my men have.
DeleteAnd I think the Northern Lights piece came out really well! I am impressed by the way you never stop exploring and experimenting.
ReplyDeleteI always try to challenge myself by using some type of new technique for each landscape...otherwise I know I'd get bored. It's far to easy to churn them out and not change a thing.
DeleteOh wow, this came out great! I would love to see the Northern Lights sometime.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen them once and that was years ago. So many people are posting pictures online so I was inspired to try to recreate them. Thanks!
DeleteThat landscape quilt is just perfect. I love how the "flames" do dance in the sky. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun creating this one! Who knows, I might do another northern lights version sometime in the future.
DeleteThis is fantastic, Mary Anne. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Becki - I must admit it's one of my favourites too.
