Friday FOs - 06.01.2023

Is the first Friday of the new year and I have a couple of objects to show you. One that was finished last year and one finished this year. Here they are. 

Comfort Bear No. 12 for last year. 

This is the 12th and final Bear for last year. I was well down on my usual tally due to taking my time and only spending a couple of hours each week working on them. I hope to do a little better this year but still don't expect to finish one a week as I have done in previous years. 

Comfort Bear No. 1 for this year

My first Bear for this year. I hope to be able to finish a Bear every couple of weeks but I'm not going to promise anything as I have quite a few projects on the go. 

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

I've been a bit slack posting my photos here so I thought it was about time I got caught up. 

Comfort Bear No 10 for this year 

I finished this one about 6 weeks ago. 

Comfort Bear No 11 for this year 

This one was finished 3 weeks ago.

This was finished this week and will be for sale at a craft fair tomorrow. 

Wash Cloth side 1

Wash Cloth side 2

This Wash cloth, done in double ended tunisian crochet, will also be for sale tomorrow. 

Wash Cloth

Another Wash cloth, done in linen stitch, to be put up for sale tomorrow. 

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

My crochet progress has been quite slow lately, mainly because I have been busy moving out of the house into the caravan. It has been quite a difficult task trying to fit so much stuff into such a small space. My yarn collection alone has been problematic. I have managed to finish a few objects but didn't manage to take photos of all of them. I forgot about the Bear I finished this week so it will have to wait until later. 

Here are my other finished objects. 

A Grey Bunny

The Arts, Crafts and Activities Group that I'm part of is having a craft fair in November and asked me if I had anything to sell. Unfortunately, I have away all my stock as I haven't been to markets since covid lockdown started even though the restrictions have been lifted for some time. This bunny will be added to the items that somehow didn't get given away and all will be for sale at the great fair. 

Wash Cloth

I figured I could make some of these and offer them for sale at the craft fair also. If I don't sell them I can make use of them myself. 

I'll try to find the Bear and photograph it before next Friday. 

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

Friday FOs - 02.09.2022

I'm trying to get some things finished so that I have something to post about most weeks, especially since I have slowed down on my Bear production. Here is this week's finished object. 

A Cotton Beanie to wear under my Santa wig. 

The view of the bank of my head wearing the beanie. 

I decided to make this because the wig I have to wear while dressed up as Santa irritates my scalp. 

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

Friday FOs - 19.08.2022

It has been a while since I last posted anything and I have been busy and have completed a few things since then. It hasn't been the one Bear a week that I have managed to finish in previous years but I do have 3 bears finished and one blanket, and here they are. 

Comfort Bear No 7 for this year. 

Comfort Bear No 8 for this year. 

These bears have been finished for a while. It has been so long that I have forgotten when they were finished. 

Blanket No 2 from knitted rectangles. 

It has taken a while but I finally managed to finish the second of 2 blankets that I have been making by joining some knitted rectangles that were found in bags of donated yarn. I will be donating both blankets back to the Salvation Army. 

Comfort Bear No 9 for this year. 

This Bear was finished this week. It has been slow going but I'll keep working on these until I can't do it any more. 

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

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.

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.
