Friday FOs - 25.05.2018

After taking a photo of my finished objects last week I then forgot to post them so I have two weeks of finishes for you this week. This week I managed to finish 5 items thanks to time spent collecting for the Red Sheild Appeal. Here are all my finished objects for the last tow weeks.

Comfort Bear #20 for 2018

 Another sparky bear, this time the sparkles actually show up in the photo.

Beanie in Collingwood Colours

This is my third attempt at getting this beanie the right size.

That's last week's finished objects, now for this week's.

These plastic bag holders may become obsolete in the next month or so as the big supermarkets phase out plastic bags but I figure I had sold a few and needed to replace them so I have.

Comfort Bear #21 for 2018

I have gone back to standard colour combinations for this week's comfort bear.

Dishcloth #2 side 1

Dishcloth #2 side 2

For the second dishcloth that I have made for Springdale Community Centre I have gone for a Crochetknit version which gives a double sided effect.

That's it for now, until next time, have a good one, and if you see someone collecting for charity, please give generously, especially if it's for the Salvation Army.

Wednesday WIPs - 25.04.2018

I have a night off from my usual activities due to it being a public holiday ao I thought I would show a couple of the things that I have worked on this week.

Knitted Beanie in Collingwood Colours

The person I have been making these for has informed me that the first is too big so I've gone done a couple of sizes in needled and making this one a bit smaller. I haven't been able to give the second beanie to her yet so I don't know if it's going to be too big or not. I may have to make another ofter I finish this one.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I had quite a bit of time in a  waiting room so I made good progress on this one. It's close to being big enough now, so when I get to the next corner I will be changing to black for the last time around.

That's all for now. I should be back on Friday with at least one FO. Until then, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 13.04.2018

I have had  a reasonably productive week this week and have finished several items. Here they are in the order that they were finished.

Comfort Bear #15 for 2018

Another comfort bear finished.

Beanie in Collingwood Colours

The second of two beanies is finished. I don't think the person that commissioned me to make these will be expecting this one so early but I like to finish those things that I have been paid for as soon as possible.

When I checked my ToDo list I found that Teapot Cosies were at the top of the list and I had previously had a request for Two Cup Teapot Cosies so I figured that I would start with those.

I have had four of these waiting to be finished for quite a while now so it's probably about time I did something with them.

That's all I have for this week. I hope to have more finished for next week. Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 30.03.2018

It's time to show off my finished objects for this week, and here they are.

Comfort Bear #13

Another Bear has been finished.

Beanie in Collingwood Colours

This is the first of two beanies that I have been commissined to make.

Beanie in Collingwood Colours on my head.

I aleays think that beanies should be seen on a head to get the best idea of fit and shape. This one turned out a little larger than expected so I hope it fits its intended recipient.

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

Wednesday WIPs - 14.03.2018

I figured it was about time that I showed everybody some of the other things that I have been working on. Here are the WIPs that I have worked on this week.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I have spent some time waiting while a friend takes his driving test so this has been taken out of the bag. I have turned the last corner before I switch to black for a frame.

Shopping Bag with Pouch

This is the second of two shopping bags that I have been commissioned to make.

Beanie in Black and White (Collingwood Colours)

This is the first of two beanies that I have been commissioned to make.

Story Time Blanket

I have been making more progress on this in the last few weeks. I'm still quite a way off completing it.

That's it from me for now. If I remember I will post the finished objects from the last three weeks on Friday.

Until next time, have a good one.

Friday FOs - 03.04.2015

As I said on Wednesday, my schedule has been thrown a bit this week due to a death in the family. As a result of this, things that I had hoped to get finished are still waiting to be finished. I still haven't finished any Trauma Teddies this week as I'm still waiting to see what the lady that sews tags on them is doing.

I have managed to finish another Drink Bottle Cosy and a beanie so here they are.

Drink Bottle Cosy in Brisbane Lions colours

Beanie in Collingwood Magpies colours

Hope fully this coming week won't be disrupted and I will be able to get some other things finished.

For those that are interested, the links in the sidebar will enable you to see what other people have made this week.
