Your blocks or so happy and sunshine-y! They are going to make a great quilt!<br /><br />You are so right patterns assuming knowledge! I had the same issue trying to figure out how to block a shawl I made. I don't know why they assume they don't need to put that information in beginner's books.The pouch is beautiful and I love how the color of the yarn worked out perfectly!Taryn V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08617716235106828832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652279121873384331.post-1500908261164388402012-06-19T07:17:17.393+01:002012-06-19T07:17:17.393+01:00Some lovely projects here!

That little bit of anxiety is OK, if it's pushing you forward at the same time. I do some of my best work under pressure. It spurs me on. Too much however, and it becomes stress and then it's not good. Love the little purse. Fancy not including instructions for how to finish off and thank goodness for the Internet. I'm not sure how I used to sew pre-Internet days...
