Flying Geese
Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 4:14PM I need 70+ flying geese for a quilt that I am making.
Piecemeal Quilts has a very good tutorial for one seam flying geese. This chain sewing method seemed faster than the other methods that I tried. Now that I have all the components made I can start putting them all together and start quilting!
The fall in the air prompted me to pull out the yarn. While I already have more scarves than needed for living in southern Texas, I could not resist this pattern is by Stitch Diva. 
It is broomstick lace and bamboo yarn. I could not find the jumbo knitting needle called for so I am using a sharpened dowel from Lowes. It works okay after lots of sanding but just does not look cool. I think I will stain the dowel some wonderful artsy color and will feel better about the whole process.

Thanks for the tutorial. Your scarf looks very pretty.
This is an interesting and easy way to do flying geese!! I like that you can fold the edges down for a different look. Thanks for the tutorial. I like your ingenuity....what color are you going to stain your knitting dowel? I can see why you couldn't resist that pattern! Lovely!
Oh boy -- flying geese are beautiful but definately time consuming to make. I made mine using the Lazy Girl ruler and method. It was nice because no bias edges to worry about. Love your scarf.
