Wednesday WIPs - 19.08.2015

I have had another busy week, crocheting and sewing, and now it is time to show off most of my projects. Here they are.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket in 4 ply 

This one is now ready to have the ends sewn in and the buttons sewn on. All I have to do is find some suitable buttons.

Butterfly Squares - side one 

Butterfly Squares -side two 

The third square is done.

Two Monkeys 

I've made the arms and legs, just have the tails to make and then I will be ready to sew them all together.

Story Time Blanket 

I'm making good progress on this and may have it finished in record time.

I have also worked on the tartan blanket but I'm still just sewing in ends so there isn't much to see.

I will also have something other than just a trauma teddy to show off on Friday so be sure to check back then. 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 - 03.06.2015

Well, Red Shield is over for another year and things are starting to return to normal  (just not really sure what normal is). I think this means that I might not have as much time to crochet as I have had over the last couple of weeks but I will have more time to catch up on my email. I have still managed to make progress on most of my projects and here they are.

Woollen Baby Blanket - motifs from Ellen Gormley's book 

I have finished all the motifs for this blanket and now just have to sew in all the ends. This isn't a job that I have been looking forward to. 

Tunisian Spiral Blanket 

I pulled this one out again this week and added a few more blocks of colour.

Two Monkeys 

I finished the body of one of the monkeys and almost did the same on the other.

Butterfly Blanket - side one 

Butterfly Blanket - side two 

I managed to finish the second panel of this blanket.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket 

The second sleeve is growing slowly but it is growing.

Trauma Teddy 

This is how much I managed to get done during Craft'n'Cuppa. I have now completed all the parts and it is ready to be handed over to the lady who sews the tags on.

Man-bag 

I'm still working on the cross-stitch part of this project but should be ready to sew it up in a couple of weeks.

Moogly CAL Square #11

This one seemed to work up quite quickly in spite of having to work in both loops of the stitches separately to create the flower.

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.

Wednesday WIPs - 27.05.2015

It seems that Red Shield collecting has given me plenty of time for crocheting and knitting. I have managed to work on seven of my projects this week (not counting the trauma teddy that I started after taking photos). Here are the photos that I took this afternoon.

I'm going to show off Sue's current WIP first.

Sue's Tartan Carry Bag

Sue is finished the cross-stitch part of this project and has started working on the lining but hasn't progressed far enough to take a photo.

Woollen Baby Blanket 

I only have a couple of octagons left to attach and then I will need to sew in all the ends.

Murray of Athol Tartan Blanket 

It is now cold enough to have this one on my lap so I can continue working on it.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket 

I have worked on this one a couple of times this week. It always seems to get a few people making comments.

Shy Butterfly Baby Jacket 

The pattern for this calls for one of the sleeves to be made inside out so it probably looks like I'm working on the same sleeve I was working on last week but that is now on the other side.

Butterfly Square  (side one )

Butterfly Square  (side two )

I started the next square for my butterfly baby blanket.

Man-bag 

I'm still working on this one and making good progress.

Two Monkeys 

I have managed to make a bit of progress on these.

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 - 06.05.2015

It looks like I have been very busy this week, but it doesn't really feel that way. I have worked on most of my projects and even started a couple of new ones.  Here are all the projects that I have worked on.

Woollen Baby Blanket - motifs by Ellen Gormley 

I managed to finish the last row of squares and start on the last row of octagons.

Sht Butterfly Baby Jacket 

The first sleeve is growing slowly but it is growing.

Double Knit Butterfly side one 

Double Knit Butterfly side two 

I finished the first of my double knit squares.  I probably should have used a different colour as the butterfly doesn't show up really well.

Two Monkeys 

One of the new projects is actually two. I have  had a couple of requests for these so figured I might as well make two at the same time.

Child's Beanie 

One of the ladies at church wants a beanie for her son but didn't like the ones I had available so I'm making another.

Moogly CAL Square #9 

I didn't get much of this done.  Hopefully I will be able to finish it before the next square comes out.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket 

I had chiropractic and doctors appointments yesterday so brought out the waiting room project again. I made quite good progress.

Tablet Carry Bag 

I decided to go with a change of font for the second side.

Trauma Teddy 

This is my usual Craft'n'Cuppa project and I will get to finish some soon. I have a bag of parts that I made previously that just need to be put together.

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.
