DIFFERENT WAYS

Brrrr, it looks like an early winter has arrived. All the more reason to stay in lockdown here in Victoria. It is so nice to see my munchkin's blanket grow as it provides warmth on my lap as I crochet. 
I had an 'oops' moment recently when I realised that I would not have enough yarn to complete the blanket. Now is not the time to reorder from the UK so I was fortunate to locate an Aussie website that had my particular yarn in all the colours I needed. Whew! It has apparently been despatched already so I am hoping the parcel won't take too long to arrive.

Now, did you know that a pillow slip cuff is not always a cuff? Silly question? Nope! While searching for instructions to make my munchkin's pillow slips I found several U.S  you tube tutorials and decided to try the ' buritto' method which entails rolling up the cut fabrics, sewing, then pulling the inside out.  Wooohoo! It came out beautifully. However, there is a ' but' . Now, the pattern said it was a pillowslip with a cuff, as do a lot of other U.S patterns but they all have the same issue...their idea of a cuff is simply the different fabric and/ or strip on the top part of the pillowslip. There is actually no cuff as I would assume a cuff to mean. I thought a cuff is the part inside that you tuck the pillow into to keep it from slipping out.  It appears that UK patterns do have cuffs as we do. So, the 1st pillowslip I made has no " cuff" lol.

You may note that I cut the fabric with the pattern sideways so when I find a better pattern with the elusive cuff I shall cut the fabric the other way. ( If I have enough).

I have made further progress with my little quilt.

I have so many projects to finish but I am determined to finish the blanket and little quilt first.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Angel Blessings.
