This Monday I...
waited for my Milkweed Shawl to dry,
(I love all those garter ridges)
started a new sweater,
and played with color value.
I find arranging squares of yummy fabric on a batting-covered board to be meditative, creative and SO much fun. Hope you find a bit of time to do something fun today!
Such a great color for that shawl! It's a good thing you find fabric arranging meditative - I think it's the hardest and most frustrating part!!!

I usually love playing on the design wall, but my value quilt is not going very well at the moment. I just don't know what to do about it, except wait and take another look in the morning....

what a wonderful day you had! I love how your milkweed shawl turned out...that color is great! Playing with yarn and fabric is always a gret way to insure an awesome day! Can't wait to see what comes of your creativity. What's your board made of?

Ok, I love everything about this post. The Milkweek is gorgeous! I have my yarn ready for the Francis Revisited (except that a new development may not allow me to be the right size to wear it this year).
The quilt is gorgeous. I love all of the fabrics, and all of the colors.

Yes, it all looks fun to me! I've been spending my free time with either knitting needles or a sewing needle in my hand.
