Here's a picture of the Sulky Metallic thread I used (there is a lot more blue in it than the picture shows):
Also, as I mentioned yesterday, here are pictures of my finished sewing projects. First up, the cover for Sirena:
I used a purple, pre-quilted cotton; it is lined in the same material so nothing scratchy touches the wheel. I sewed a strap on top that I use to pull the cover off. (Note that I couldn't take a picture of this without Sombra and Tica "helping!" That's Tica hiding behind the wheel.)
Here is the latest Knit2 bag. This one uses a Batik on the outside (leftover from my Mom's quilt)...
...and a seaweed-looking lining (leftover from my Tides at Bodega Bay quilt) with a Fairy Frost green for the separator.
I didn't get my Fawkes socks done yesterday, but I did get closer to the toe. I won't post any more in-progress pictures on these. The next pictures will be of the finished socks!
