 Cate's Show and Tell is six more weeks in the making.

 Stephanie made this Cap today, it's made with a ball of one thin piece of knitted stretchy fabric, she didn't quite know what to do with it and didn't like what she started doing below... so she undid it... but she did go home with the cap.

 Heather's Colour Chart... I think this would be a very good idea for a quilt top, using up some of the very many plains I have in my stash.
