Friday FOs - 28.09.2018

I was out late last Friday and got home too late to post so you get two weeks of finished this week. Here are last week's finished objects.

Corner-to-Corner Pram Blanket

I bought this yarn at last year's Craft Alive and thought it was about time I used it.

Comfort Bear No. 38 for 2018

It was "Sunshine Week" at one of the community centres that I go to so I decided this one needed to have a bright yellow  shirt.

A Flat Yellow Octopus

This is yellow for the same reaon the bear has a yellow shirt, it's flat because one of the ladies at the community centre wanted it that way. She intends to use it as an applique on a kids sea themed blanket.

And now for this week's finished objects.

Yellow Sheep No. 2

Having sold one yellow sheep I figured I needed to make another. I will be making all the other colours soon.

Comfort Bear No. 39 for 2018

Another week, another bear.

Sunhat and Bootees set in mauve

I decided to get the bear out again to model this sunhat and bootees set.

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

Friday FOs - 02.02.2018

I managed to get photos of all my finished objects this week. I wasn't sure how I was going to do it but I have succeeded. So, without further ado, here they are.

Beanie

Mine was the only suitable head to display this on and my sister obliged in taking the photo. I wasn't really expecting to get this one finished so quickly as I'm usually quite a slow knitter.

Appliques

16 appliques all completed. I haven't sewn in any of the ends but I think the lady I have made these for can take care of them when she sews then on to the table covers that they have been made for so I am calling them finished.

Comfort Bear #5 for 2018

Another comfort bear finished and ready for service.

That's it from me for this week. I will be back home soon and everything will return to normal (whatever normal is).

Until next time, have a good one.

Wednesday WIPs - 24.01.2018

It's time to show everyone what I have been working on this week. Here are my WIPs.

Appliques

Finished another Angel this week. One more and the set will be complete.

Knitted Beanie

I have started shaping the top on this one. I have about 8 more rows to go.

Comfort Bear

I wouldn't normally incude this one in my WIPs but I don't know if I will be able to finish it as I will be travelling tomorrow and I don't know what time I will have on Friday. I'm also not sure if I will be able to post on Friday even if I do get this finished.

That's all I have for today. Until next time, have a good one.

WIP Wednesday - 17.01.2018

Well, I managed to forget to post my FO on Friday, but I managed to remember to take photos of my WIPs today, so you get to see them at least. Here they are.

Knitted Beanie

I have made noticeable progress on this one, and now that I have added in the changes in colour, it's very easy to see.

Appliques

I managed to finish a couple of angels.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I even managed to make a couple of colour changes on this one.

That's it from me for now. Hopefully I will remember to post my FOs on Friday. Until then, have a good one.

Wednesday WIPs - 10.01.2018

Another Wednesday and time to show what I have been working on this week. I have worked on three of my projects this week. Here are two of them.

Appliques

I finished the fourth heart and started on an angel. It doesn't look much yet but it will take shape over the next couple of days.

Knitted Beanie

One of the guys in church asked me to make him this one. It's not going to be all black, but starting in black definetely made the first few rows quite difficult.

That's it from me for now. Check back on Friday to see what the third item is.

Richard.

Wednesday WIPs - 03.01.2018

This being the first Wednesday of the year I thought I had better find all my UFOs and show where thay are all at. I found nine projects in various stages of completion, not incuding the Comfort Bear that I started today. Here they all are.

Large Jug Cover

I had hoped to have this one finished by now but that was not to be.

Appliques

I have almost finished the last Heart. Once that is finished I will need to chose a pattern for the last four appliques. I'm thinking of an angel for the last four.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

Just one more corner to negotiate, finish up the side then change to black for one more circuit and this will be done.

Corner-to-Corner Pixel Square.

Progress has been quite slow on this one since I have only been working on it at markets and I haven't been to many markets lately.

Double Knit Butterfly Blanket - side 1

Double Knit Butterfly Blanket - side 2

This is another that I only work on at markets so it hasn't seen a lot of progress either.

Story Time Blanket

This one is on hold until I finish the Appliques.

2016 CAL Blanket

I don't know why I haven't joined these yet. I will get around to it sometime this year.

Four Graduation Owls

These were still packed in a box until this afternoon. I didn't know which box they were in and it took a bit of searching to find them, but now that they're found, I will have to get them finished.

Hungarian Squares Blanket

I started this project just because I wanted to try Hungarian Crochet.

I have a lot of projects on the go and soon will have one more. One of my friends from church has asked me to knit him a beanie for which he has agreed to pay me $20. I probably cause myself a few problems but I never knock back a commision job.

I know this is quite a lot of projects to get finished but I'm sure I can get them done. Feel free to offer any words of encouragement you have to offer, they would be most appreciated.

That's it for now. I hope to have something finished for Friday, even if it is only a Comfort Bear.

Wednesday WIPs - 29.11.2017

I thought it was about time I posted some progress shots, so here they are.

Appliques

I'm half way with this project having completed 4 ladies and 4 butterflies. I will be starting on the next set tomorrow.

Butterfly Square side 1

Butterfly Square side 2

I have been to a couple of markets recently so I got this one out to continue.

Rose Corner to Corner Pixel Square

I decided to get this one out at the last market.

Shopping Bag with Pouch

I kinda need to make a few of these as I seem to be able to sell them.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I have spent a bit of time in waiting rooms lately this has been added to. A soon as I have squared it up I will switch to black and go around once more.

That's it for the WIPs this week. I have at least one itme finished and, if I remember, I will show it off on Friday.

Wednesday WIPs - 20.09.2017

I thought it was about time I updated all my followers (is anybody still following me?) on a couple of the projects that I have been working on, other than the trauma teddies that I have been finishing most weeks. Her are a couple of items that I have been working on recently.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I have managed to get a bit more of this done just this week as I waited for my podiatrist appointment.

Appliques

Here are the first of 16 appliques that I have been commissioned to make.

That's about it for my WIPs. There are a couple of other things that I have worked on since my last post but I hope to be able to show them finished soon.
