Wednesday WIPs - 06.05.2020

I thought it was time to show everyone that I don't just make Comfort Bears and Shopping Bags. Here are some things that I have been working on recently.

A Brown Bear

The start of the story "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?"

A Project Bag in Cotton

Some of the shopoping bags that I have been using are starting to fall apart and the rest have been repurposed to carry catalogues.

A Project Bag in Acrylic

I started this one while waiting for the doctor becuse I didn't have the yarn I needed to continue doing the blanket that I normally work on in waiting rooms.

Hungarian Squares Blanket

This is the blanket that I normally work on iwhile in waiting rooms. I just need to do one more round and join them which I will start on next time I am in a waiting room now that I have the appropriate yarn in the bag.

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

Wednesday WIPs - 25-03-2020

Since I my regular Wednesday evening activities have been cancelled for the duration of pandemic I have time to post a few progress photos. Here are some of the objects that I have worked on this week.

Two Yellow Sheep

It seems to be taking longer than normal to get these finished. Maybe now that I am spending more time at home I can get more work done on these.

Another Shopping Bag with Pouch

I am still making Shopping Bags. I will eventually move on to other things but I don't believe I have enough yet.

Hungarian Crochet Square

I have spent a bit of time in waiting rooms recently and so have made some progress on this.

Regular readers will have noticed that I didn't post anyting on Friday. This is because I didn't finish anything last week. The time I would normally be crocheting was spent driving as I had a memorial service to attend some 5+ hours away.

That's about all I have for you at the moment. Until next time, have a good one.

Wednesday WIPs - 12-02-2020

I have worked on a few objects this week. Here are two that won't feature on Friday.

Square for Hungarian Crochet Blanket

I have fixed up the red round and this is now ready for the next colour.

Shopping Bag with Pouch

I made a start on another shopping bag, which should tell you what one of my finished objects is for this week.

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

Wednesday WIPs - 22.01.2020

It is time to show everyone what I have been working on this week.

Hungarian Crochet Square

Time spent waiting for my Chiropractor meant I was able to finish the orange on this square.

Another Hungarian Crochet Square

I was going to start on the orange on this sqare but found a mistake so frogged part of the square so I could fix it.

Two Red Sheep

 I have made good progress on my next pair of sheep.

Shopping Bag with Pouch

I had hoped to be finished with this one and already be working on the next, but the best laid plans don't always work out.

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

Richard.

Wednesday WIPs - 15.01.2020

I'm still trying to keep up a schedule of regular posts. To that end, here are the objects that I have worked on that either aren't finished or won't be finished by Friday.

Lounge Chair Cover

I have added another round to this object although I do realise that it is quite difficult to see any change from last week.

Hungarian Crochet Square

I had a trip to the doctors this week and managed to add a bit on this square while I was waiting.

Shopping Bag with Pouch

I have started another bag.

Astute readers will probably figure out what objects will feature on Friday when I show off my finished objects.

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

Wednesday WIPs - 28.11.2018

I thought it was about time I showed off some of my WIPs, and here they are.

Story Time Blanket

I started on the boarder a few weeks ago and it's already starting to flatten out the bosy of the blanket.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I'm almost finished the border on this one. Soon I will be sewing in the ends.

Yarn Eater Blanket

It has been a while since I worked on this one but I have made good progress in the last couple of weeks.

Sunhat and Bootees in Yellow

Another in a series of Sunhat and Bootees sets.

That's it for now. I'm going away on Friday but I will try to post my finished items. If I don't, then you will get a double dose next week.

Until next time, have a good one.

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 - 20.08.2014

When I went out to take photos of all my WIPs this afternoon I thought I had worked on all my projects this week but discovered that there was one that missed out, so it will have to be the first cab off the rank tomorrow. I also had a small problem when I went to crochet class on Friday. I forgot to take the project I wanted to work on so I had to work on something else instead.

Here are this week's WIP photos.

Tunisian Spiral Blanket

I hadn't intended to work on this this week but it was the only project I had in my bag at crochet class so I worked on it until I got to a point where I couldn't continue because I didn't have the colour I wanted to use next. I will have to make sure I have more colours available for the next time I get this out.

I then had the problem of what to do for the rest of the class so I started another new blanket.

Yarn Eater (Hungarian crochet) Blanket 

This was one of those future projects that I had listed on the to-do list but was going to happen next year or maybe the year after. I still have so many other things that I want to get done but I just didn't have the yarn available at the time.

Woollen Baby Blanket - motifs from Ellen Gormley's book

This was the project that I had intended to take with me on Friday. I still managed to add 4 hexagons to it so it is still on track.

Murray of Athol Tartan Rug

I am almost half way with the weaving of the chains and it is starting to look more like a tartan each week. Still plenty of work to be done.

Toddler's Jacket - Zoom by Ellen Gormley

The second sleeve is almost done. I might even be able to finish this before next Wednesday.

Baby's Jacket, Pants and Hat set

I managed to start on the pants this week. The first few rows are always a bit fiddly as I crochet over the hat elastic but I'm past that now so the rest should make up fairly quickly.

As usual, this isn't all that I have worked on this week. I have managed to finish a couple of items so you can check back on Friday to see them. In the mean time, check out the links in the sidebar to see what others have been making.
