Friday FOs - 27.01.2017

I have managed to finish two items this week, and here they are.

Shopping Bag in Pouch
Shopping Bag ready for use
This is the second shopping bag for this year. I don't plan on making one of these a week but I would like to have about ten in stock.

Trauma Teddy #4 for 2017
Four weeks into the year and 4 Trauma Teddies complete. It will be interesting to see how long I can keep this up for, but so far so good.

Tha's it from me for this week. I still haven't sorted out the links in the sidebar but I will get to that eventually. I think some of the links still work but I'm not confident.

Wednesday WIPs - 25.01.2017

I got into a couple of boxes, this week, and managed to find a few of my projects and other things that either need repair or finishing. One of the things I found was a block for the 2016 Moogly CAL that I should have photographed about two months ago and didn't for some reason. Here is that block and the next.

Moogly CAL 2016 - Block #23
My version of Block #23 for last year's Moogly CAL.

Moogly CAL 2016 - Block #24
I almost finished this one. Since my blocks ae somewhat smaller that the 12" that they're designed to be (I'm using DK instead of worsted weight) I will be looking for an alternate block so I can make this a square blanket that will be knee rug size.

That's it from me for now. Be sure to check back on Friday to see my finished objects.

Friday FOs - 20.01.2017

Well, it's time to show off my finished items for this week, and here they are.

Shopping Bag in Pouch
Shopping Bag Ready for use
My first shopping bag for this year is now complete. I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it this week as I wasn't sure where my buttons were, but I found them and now it's done.

Trauma Teddy #3 for 2017
Another Trauma Teddy finished and I'm still on target for one a week this year. I'm sure something will happen to upset my rhythm at some stage but I will keep motoring through while I can.

That's it from me for this week. I still haven't sorted out my links but I am working on it.

Wednesday WIPs - 18.01.2017

I still haven't unpacked my projects yet. so I'm working on another bag.

Shopping Bag with Pouch
I need to make quite a few of these so I'm not really in a hurry to get into my other projects. I will get them unpacked eventually, but, in the meantime, I will continue making bags.

I still haven't sorted out the links in the sidebar although I did find a new one last week. I will be back on Friday to show off my finished items so check back then.

Friday FOs - 13.01.2017

As promised, I have managed to finish another Trauma Teddy, and here it is.

Trauma Teddy #2 for 2017
I still haven't unpacked my other projects but I'm sure I will have something to show next Wednesday. Until then, keep stitching.

Wednesday WIPs - 11.01.2017

I still haven't unpacked my projects after moving just before Christmas but I did find some cotton and I need to make some shopping bags so I figured I would make a start.

Shopping Bag with Pouch.
It doesn't look much yet but will start to look like a bag with a few more rows. I plan on making quite a few of these and may even use some myself just so that people get to see them being used.

That's it from me for now but I won't point you to the links in the sidebar as I'm not sure which actually go anywhere. I will be updating them as soon as I find some suitable links. I should have another Trauma Teddy finished before Friday so check back then to have a look at it.

Friday FOs - 06.01.2017

It's the start of a new year and one of my aims this year is to make one trauma teddy every week. With that aim in mind, here is the first trauma teddy for 2017.

Trauma Teddy #1 for 2017
I do aim to finish other things but I have to finish unpacking first.

That's all I have for you this week, but I'm sure others have something to show off, so check out the links in the sidebar to see what they have made.

Richard.

ETA: It looks like I may have to look into those links in the sidebar a little closer as they don't appear to go where I thought they would go. It may be that people have stopped hosting link parties.
