New Year's resolution.
I decided to use up all bits and pieces of yarn and do something about my fabric stash as well. Here's what I did in a month before the cross stitch bug bit me: 2 crochet baby blankets and 8 crochet hats plus one cheater panel quilted. It did not even make a dent in my stash, so I'll have to start knitting and crocheting again.

What a fantastic achievement Mrs. mops. Forgive my ignorance but what is a 'cheater panel.' I can see what it is (and very beautiful too) but am interested in how it gets this name? Many thanks.

A cheater panel looks like patchwork or (in my case) appliqué as one would expect in a quilt, but is it a printed panel - hence the name.
Oh, I see. Thank you for your reply. It looks far too good to be associated with cheating. That's something new I have learned.

I'm afraid neither will I, but I have far too much at the moment.
My children tell us they will rent a container and dump everything after our demise. So I'd better do something useful while I can :)
LOL!!!! My children tell me the same thing!!!! What do they know???!!!
mine too, silly kids ;0)lol
Two of mine say the same thing but luckily I have one daughter on my side and she loves all my stuff.

Thank you. I crochet while watching the evening news - unlike (hand) embroidery or knitting I can do quite a bit as I don't have to watch my hands.

Beautiful every stitch and the panel. You got me to thinking you are so right with the don't have to watch hands with the crochet. I seemed to get more of that done when my kids were little and then I had to set up late so could get counted stitches made and in the swing of things so I could as you put watch tv and move along till done. I still sit up late .... thanks for the inspiration I may dig up a pattern and some yarn before this day is done.

It's all very pretty, I need to do some more crocheting myself. I don't think I'll ever be able to use up all my yarn!

Prachtig Martine. Je bent lekker bezig geweest.
Zijn er patronen voor het haken van een omslagdoek? Onze jongste dochter is zwanger en dol op gehaakte spulletjes. Ik zou het leuk vinden om zoiets voor haar te maken.

Er is genoeg te vinden op internet, meestal Amerikaans, zoals http://www.crochetme.com/
Ik ben de roze begonnen als een simpel vierkantje en doorgegaan tot hij groot genoeg was. De gele is in rijen gehaakt in een steek die ik leuk vond.

Bedankt. Ik ga eens snuffelen op die site.

Apr 29, 2013 -- I think our stashes grow in the night when we aren't looking -- the more I use, the more there is to use. You have made some wonderful items here. Thanks for sharing with us.
