The faux quilt blanket that I have been working on all spring is finally finished. It is going to be a gift for my best friend who is getting married.

It is knitted in brioche with breaks of garter stitch. It has really been a labor of love as it took 3 and a half months or about 250 hours to complete. I have never before attempted a project of this size. The knitting gauge is tiny, as it is made on 2,5mm needles in fingering weight wool yarn. 360 stitches per row.

My linen quilt is finished!! This was made from all leftover linen from garments i've made- i always get way too much yardage, whoops- except the black. I was planning on using the black for garment things but then i had this quilt idea, so, pivoted.

This was a beast but im so so happy with how it turned out. Shes very moody.

It was machine pieced but hand quilted. I really fell in love with hand quilting while making this! Throwing on an audio book and just sewing for 3ish hours in the evenings was lovely and calming.

And if you ever want to quilt with linen, spray starch is your best friend. Lots of spray starch.

Including the exact same one my city buses have!!
