So if this week is a good week to take projects further, it is good that I decided to start working on my woven blanket again (Crossroads).
But it's also been a good week to start something new. I had a large piece of wool that I found 50% off (it had something on it that washed right out!) that I was thinking of making a coat with. I don't really need a coat as much as a blanket though. And so, like other blankets I've made, I put together a blanket Sunday morning.
I pieced a long strip, including one wool star, to start this ones story and use as a seam.
I'm not sure if I mentioned anywhere along the line how I'm putting these blankets together. I just sew along three sides, right side to right side. Pull it out so that the right sides are to the outside and then fold the fourth edge in and stitch it closed. After that I usually edge stitch all four sides. This time I want to do that by hand.
Thinking about how we choose when to start something, when to stop, when to approach with caution.
