Friday FOs - 20.05.2022

My completion rate seems to be a bit low at the moment but I have managed to finish something this week, and it's not a Bear. Here it is. 

Drink bottle cosy with strap

One of the ladies in the art class saw mine and asked if I could make her one. It took me a couple of weeks and a little more than one ball of cotton. 

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

Friday FOs - 06.05.2022

I haven't finished anything for a while and I'm having trouble finding the time to post my WIPs on Wednesdays but I have been working. Here is my latest finished object. 

Comfort Bear No 6 for this year. 

I have had quite a bit of trouble with this Bear. I'm using yarn that was donated to the church and I keep running into problems. I started using a ball of grey that I thought was enough to do the bear's pants and found that two different yarns had been wound into one ball and the second yarn was not only a different shade it was also a different ply and unsuitable for making bears so I had to start again. The I found that there wasn't enough of the blue to do both the body and the arms so I undid most of it and worked in red stripes. I'm just glad to have it finished so I can start on the next one. 

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