Welcome to the next in the stack of Crazy Quilt swatches. This new addition to the stack is the Double Basket pattern from Barbara Walker’s, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns Vol 1, page 18. I knit this beauty using Berroco Vintage Chunky in colorway 61193, Guava.
Another beautiful pattern! This one is very architectural and has a lot of texture. Love it!
Enjoy!
I found a really cool green and white stripped seersucker fabric and had to dosomething with it. So I made another shirt using the Hawaiian Classics pattern. I’m really happy with how it turned out. I’m getting the hang ofcollars finally.
I also went back and fixed the hems on the first Hawaiian shirt, and now both are very wearable.
This learning to sew stuff is fun. Making a shirt is very much an engineering project. It’s turning into a great way to spend my spare time.

My first reaction when they handed me the box was, “Damn! This thing is huge!”
1Password yeah! I wasn’t smart enough to look for a 1Password android version first thing. It took me a couple of hours and several typed passwords before I wised up and searched. 1Password syncs with my dropbox password list just like on the iPhone.
