Friday FOs - 27.07.2018

It's getting a bit late here and it's almost Saturday so I will keep the comments a little short. Here are my finished objects for this week.

Comfort Bear #30 for 2018

I'm still keeping up with my one bear a week target.

Octopus #8

As well as making an octopus each week.

A Purple Sheep

While this one isn't actually mentioned in the book "Where is the Green Sheep" it is pictured so the community centre wanted it.

Sunhat and Bootees in pink

This has been on top of my to-do list for a while so I though it was about time I got it done.

Bear modelling the Sunhat and Bootees

While I had the bear out I thought he might as well model these. I'm not sure that he is all that happy about it though.

That's it from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 20.07.2018

I forgot to post my finished objects again last week so you get two week's worth of finished objects this week. Here they are, in the order that they were finished.

Octopus #6

Another octopus ready for service.

Comfort Bear #28 for 2018

Another Comfort Bear read for service.

Comfort Bear #29 for 2018

And yet another bear finished and ready for service.

A Red Sheep

Another in the series of sheep featured in the book "Where is the Green Sheep". This one has already been sold to on of the community centres in which I teach.

Octopus #7

And here is this week's octopus.

Chihuahua Coat

Chihuahua Coat modeled by a bear

The Chihuahua Coat is now finished. The bear was the only thing I could find that came close to the same size as the dog that this coat is supposed to fit. While the bear is a bit shorted and a bit more rotund than the dog the coat has been made for he is quite squeezable and posable so I figured he would be a good substitute. I will try and get a photo of the dog wearing the coat provided that the dog's owner is amenable.

That's it from me for this week. Hopefully I will remember to post next Friday. Until next time, have a good one.

Wednesday WIPs - 11.07.2018

I managed to get some photos of some items that I have worked on this week, and here they are.

Sunhat and Bootees

The bootees are made, just need the loose ends sewn in and ribbons threaded through, amd the sunhat has been started.

Knitted Short Rows Scarf

After doing one of these in Tunisian Crochet I thought I might try a knitted version. I don't know how long this ine is going to take me as I will be doing whenever I can kinda fit it in, at least until I finish some other items.

Chihuahua Coat

I'm not entirely sure that this design is going to work, I'm just kinda winging it. I don't even have something I can try it on to see if it is going to work.

That's it from me for now. I don't actually have anything finished at the moment but I hope to finish a couple of items tomorrow. I will have to see how I go.

Unitl next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 06.07.2018

I almost forgast to post my finished objects for this week. Here they are, in the order they were finished in.

Green Sheep #3

Having given away two of these already I thought I should have one for the shop. Expect this one to be for sale shortly.

A Blue Octopus

This is my fifth octopus, one of which has already been given away. When I have a bag full of these I intend to take them over to Wodonga Hospital's maternity ward to be given to preemie babies.

A Blue Sheep

The plan was to make a rainbow of sheep and put them up for sale but this one is already sold along with four others, a red one, a yellow one, a purple one and a white one. These a pretty much all the colours that appear in the book "Where's the Green Sheep" with the white standing in for all the different non colour sheep that are mentioned.

Comfort Bear #27 for 2018

I couldn't not have one of these done this week. This year may be the one year where I actually go the whole year completing one each week.

That's about it from me for this week. Until next time, have a good one.
