That is quite a list of things to do - I don't know if I am quite that ambitious with my knitting. Maybe once I am an official master knitter I'll make up a knitting list like this one.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive though - how many items you already have crossed off the list - way to go!
Interesting list. What's 3 dimensional quilting? Would that be like quilting one of those cat tents that stand up on their own? Because if you're looking for a project, I have 3 cats who'd enjoy something like that...
ReplyDeleteI'm kidding. Good job, Chickie!!!
I think 3 dimensional quilting refers to a method of folding the fabric to create waves or points that stick out from the surface...it may also refer to embellishment. Not sure, actually! :)
