Today I sewed three finished blocks together.  That was a big accomplishment.  For months, I only had one actual block completly done.  Now I can start to see just what the top is really going to look like:<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.avenueb.org\/albums\/album33\/aae.sized.jpg\" width=300 alt=\"Blue Poncho\"\/><\/center><br \/>\nIt needs to be ironed pretty bad right now, but I&#8217;d like to wait and do that when I get a strip of six blocks done before I do that work.  I&#8217;m real pleased with how it&#8217;s starting to look.  Now if I can just get a lot of work finished with it this weekend when we&#8217;re on our 12 hour trip to North Carolina.  As long as it doesn&#8217;t make me carsick, I should do pretty well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not allowing myself to do anymore knitting for awhile.
