Friday FOs - 21.08.2015

I have plenty of FOs to show off today, and here they are.

Man-bag 

The shoulder strap has been attached and the buttons have been sewn on  (although I'm not sure if I have chosen the right buttons) so I'm calling this one finished and ready for use.

Trauma Teddy #26 for 2015

This week's trauma teddy has been made withyarn that was donated by one of the clinics that we give teddies to.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket in DK 

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket in 4 ply 

This morning, at crochet class, I sowed in the ends and attached the buttons to both of these jackets.

With all of these finished I should now have more time to work on other projects that need my attention  (so long as I don't start more), so maybe I will get a few more finished in the next few weeks.

That's it from me for this week. Be sure to check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have made.

Wednesday WIPs - 12.08.2015

Well, I have been just as busy this week as last, although I did have a day off yesterday as I didn't feel much like doing anything at all. I did manage to work on most of my projects again this week so here are my progress photos.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket in DK

The collar is now done on this, now I need to figure out how to do the same on the 4 ply version.

Moogly CAL Square #16

I almost forgot to take a photo of this one and only remembered when I was updating my projects on Ravelry.

Boy's Rugby Jumper 

I finally got around to sewing this one together and it is now ready for the collar.

Story Time Blanket 

This has been my main focus for this week, the one project that I kept going back to after I had spent some time on other projects. If I keep up this pace I will have this ready for this year's show at the end of October.

Man-bag 

I still have about 8 inches of shoulder strap to do but the ball of yarn I was using has almost run out. I hope that the other ball is a close enough match.

That's it from me for now, be sure to check back on Friday to see if I have managed to finish something. In the meantime. check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs - 05.08.2015

I am always telling people how many projects I have on the go at the same time. This week, I have managed to work on most of them. Here are all the WIPs that I have worked on this week.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket 

I managed to finish the second sleeve. Now I just have the collar to do.

Man-bag 

I started on the shoulder strap this week. I still have a bit to do before this is ready to use.

Two Monkeys 

I finally got around to finishing the body of the second monkey and now have the arms, legs and tail and sew them together.

Butterfly Square ( side one ) 

Butterfly Square ( side two ) 

I managed to find time to do another ten rows on this square.

Story Time Blanket 

This is the main project that I have worked on as it is an order and I want to get it done as soon as possible.

I also spent some time sewing in ends on the tartan blanket but didn't think it was enough of a change to worry about taking a photo.

That's it from me for now. Be sure to check back on Friday to see what I have finished. In the meantime, check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs - 15.07.2015

I have been really slack this week. I have only worked on two projects other than the trauma teddies. Here are the projects that I have worked on.

Moogly CAL Square #14

This was quite an easy square to make and didn't take very long.

Man-bag 

I have now done the closing flap and just need to add the buttons and the shoulder strap.

That's all I have done this week. I won't be posting on Friday as Sue and I will be away for the weekend and we will be leaving early on Friday. You can still check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs - 08.07.2015

I have pretty much been working on the same projects this week as I did last week. I'm still trying to finish these off.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket 

Sue had an appointment this week and needed me to drive her there and back so I spent some time working on this one.

Murray of Athol Tartan Blanket 

I'm almost finished with the chains, only seven more to do before I sew in the ends and crochet the border.

Man-bag - side one 

Man-bag - side two 

Man-bag - top view 

All this needs now is the closing flap and the shoulder strap which I will be crocheting.

That's it from me for this week, be sure to check back on Friday to see what I have finished. In the meantime, check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs - 01.07.2015

I  have been a bit slack lately and haven't worked on many of my projects this week. Here are the some of the projects that I have worked on this week.

Moogly CAL  Square #13

I didn't have enough of the dark purple to make this square so I found this bright pink as a substitute. I think it will add something to the finished blanket.

Man-bag 

I have finished the cross-stitch part of this project and am now ready to sew it together.

Murray of Athol Tartan Blanket 

I'm a little bit closer to having this blanket finished. Just a few more chains to make and weave in then I will be ready to do the border.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket 

I had a bit of time in a waiting room this morning so I added a bit more to this.

I have also worked on some trauma teddies and hope to have them finished tomorrow. Be sure to check back on Friday to see if I have managed that. In the meantime, check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs - 24.06.2015

Today's post may make it look like I haven't been real busy but that is because a couple of the projects I have been working on are finished so you won't get to see them until Friday. Here are the projects that I have worked on that are still WIPs.

Murray of Athol Tartan Blanket 

A few more chains have been made and woven in. I think it will be a few weeks before I get this one finished.

Man-bag 

I'm almost finished with the cross-stitch part of this and will soon be ready to sew it up.

I have also worked on the Woollen Baby Blanket but only sewing in ends so it doesn't look much different than the last time I showed it. I will be continuing sewing in the ends for a few weeks before it is ready for blocking. I also started this week's trauma teddy but didn't take a photo. Hopefully you will get to see it on Friday along with my other finished object.

As usual, be sure to check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs - 17.06.2015

This week I have been trying to decide which of my projects are going to get priority as I have been reviewing where I want to go with markets and shows. Here are the projects that I have worked on this week.

Man-bag 

This is going to be my main project for a little while, at least until it's finished.

Moogly CAL Square #12

I'm halfway through this CAL now with another 12 to go.

Trauma Teddy 

I will be continuing to make these for the foreseeable future, at least until I'm told to stop.

Murray of Athol Tartan Blanket 

I'm quite close to finishing this one so it is going to get priority over other projects.

That's it from me for this week. Be sure to check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.

Wednesday WIPs -10.06.2015

I'm late, I forgot to post this last night, but it's still Wednesday in some parts of the world so I don't think I'm too late. Here are some of the projects that I have worked on this week.

Man-bag 

I still have a bit of cross-stitch to do on this one before it's ready to be sewn up.

Butterfly Square ( side one ) 

Butterfly Square ( side two ) 

I started a new square on Saturday. I wanted to see how the variegated pink went with the blue. I think it looks OK.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket 

I still have a bit to do on the second sleeve but I am making progress.

I have worked on the Woollen Baby Blanket but it has only been sewing in ends so it doesn't look much different to last week so I didn't think there was any point in taking another photo.

That's it from me for this week. Be sure to check back on Friday to see if I have managed to finish anything. In the meantime, check out the links in the sidebar to see what other people have been working on.
