... to finish this pillowcase edging:
.... here they are hanging out on the clothesline yesterday.
... and here the are pressed, folded and ready to mail as a wedding gift for my cousin :)
The pattern is called love braid.
It's a knitted lace
- which even thought it was an easy pattern -
it took forever for me to finish.
How do you spell
p r o c r a s t i n a t e ?
Happy Monday :)
Your cousin will adore this, it is beautiful! I found your blog thru Terri, and it is beautiful! Your inchies blow me away, and your art is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful~ they will be treasured gifts! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful -- I've never seen something hand-knit that's so fine. Where did you get the pattern?
ReplyDeleteYour pillowcases are gorgeous, Kimmie, and such a stunning and thoughtful gift. What a keepsake! It's rare to see such fine workmanship; hours and hours have gone into these and with each stitch, I'm sure you were sending happy, loving thoughts. Magnificent!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo

Precious! What a keepsake they will be. You are the bomb, girlfriend!
ReplyDeletewhat a most amazing and thoughtful gift!
ReplyDeleteThese are so so lovely. I would treasure these if I were the new bride. It is so rare to see handmade crocheted pillow cases anymore.
ReplyDeleteKimmie--This is indeed a lost art. I remember when I first met B's grandmother. She told me to open her dresser drawer and pick out anything that I wanted. I still have some of the pillow slips that she had given me although they are really thin now and I won't use them. I should actually take the edging off of them and sew it onto new pillow slips so that I could use them and pass them down. I think hers were crocheted, not knitted. You do great work, Kimmie. Procrastination or not: the receiver of the gift will surely appreciate them. I know that I would!
ReplyDeleteThose certainly are a most wonderful and special wedding gift!
ReplyDeleteI have decided things just happen in their own time ... some things can't be rushed ... knitted lace ... WOW!
Gorgeous Kimmie!
