Christmas present update! (Let's share how many more things we have to finish!!!)

[donnalynn2]

Since many of us are making tons of Christmas presents this year and Dec 25th less than a month away, I thought it would be neat to see how many projects we have to finish yet!

 

As for me, I am finishing up the 35 granny afghan for my niece.

 

2 pillows

 

A prayer shawl

 

A purse

 

Assortment of bookmarks

(Considering I made well over 30 items this year so far for Christmas, this isn't bad!)

 

How about you? How many more til you're finished?

[debsydoo]

i have finished all my crochet Christmas presents but i still have a very long way to go on a cross stitch for hubby, as it is for Paul it is taking me a lot longer to do than it would normaly as i can only do it when he is out of the way but i will get there.

 

 

The crochet presents i have made this year are -

 

2 x afghans

doily

3 x scarf, hat and mitten sets

slippers

rug and doily for dolls house

bookmark

 

[smokeyp81]

So far I have completed 3 of the 4 lapghans for the nursing home residents. (pictures soon), 2 felted totes, 1 shawl to go in tote (1 left to do). Now I'm contemplating on whether I want to attempt ornaments for the people I work with. I think I'm doing OK!

[yarncat]

Pair of slipper socks.

Hat/scarf set.

Ponchette.

[sprtsbear]

I still have 2 hat & scaf sets. Of course I may still do some other things. I really can't stop until Christmas.

So far FO's

3 shawls

2 shrugs

afghan

2 ponchos

4 purses

10 scarves

mittens

4 baby hats

I think I may have forgotten a few items. I started in August. But I never get tired of crocheting!

[Katie45694]

I still have one afghan (it's about 1/2 done), mittens and scarf (to go with a finished hat!), a Toddler "SOMETHING?!" (probably either sweater or poncho) and a Child's "SOMETHING?" Likely either a poncho or winter set (hat, scarf, mittens.) I'd LIKE to maybe complete another item or two, but those are things that REALLY need to be finished.

 

 

SIGH...

Katie:cat

[francesca]

Let's see--these include both the gifts I was commissioned to make and also a couple of the gifts I'd like to make for other people.

 

Small felted bag for Sassa: done

Mohair scarf for Sally: done

Mohair scarf for Marga: done

Seaman's scarf for Mary Lu: done

Two mohair scarves and two pins for Melissa: done x 4

Large felted bag for Queenie: done, just drying now

Mohair scarf for Ginny: not yet started

Sari scarf for mom: just barely started

Big felted bag for mom: ready to assemble, pre-felting

Cashmerino scarves for Warren, Sinclair, and Toby: not even started! haven't even bought the materials!

 

I'd still like to make at least one more felted bag for a friend, but since I'm coming into the busiest part of my semester (papers and exams to grade), I'll have a lot less free time. Looks like the men will get their scarves as New Year's presents!

[luckygrrl]

To finish:

 

-2 purses

-a baby poncho

-a hat, possibly a 2nd

-a toddler hat

-possibly another small project or two

 

That doesn't sound like too much, but keep in mind that my boyfriend and I area also making a ton of homemade bath and body products for gifts and we haven't even gotten the supplies in the mail for that yet.

[redhead54]

Finished:

 

3 shawls

2 hats

1 pr.slippers

1 scarf

1 cross stitch pic of Haldir (LOTR's head elf) it's getting framed

[chickpea67]

I only have 2 scarves left to finish. One's been almost done for months (other project have been more intrguing to work on) and one was jsut added to the list yesterday when I found out we were doing secret santas at work!

 

But to be honest-- i only started out needing to make 5 scarves and two ponchos:)

[chocchip]

Well lets see

 

Started projects to finish-

 

women's sweater- one sleeve left to go

hat and scarf set- hat done need to do scarf

hat and mitten set- one mitten down, one in the making

snowflakes- 6 down 3 to go

 

projects to start-

 

2 snake toys

capelet

child's sweater

 

Hmm... I guess I am doing better than I thought!

[crochet smartcat]

Okay, not sure if this is a good idea or not. Maybe it'll just reinforce how far behind I really am.

 

 

Thread Shawl - done!!!

Thread Poncho - almost done

Thread Ornaments x4 - 1/2 done

Lapghan - 1/3 done

Sweater - 1/2 done

Purse to go with Shawl & Poncho - not started

Bunches of Sscarves - 2 done, 1, 1/2 done, ? more to go

Hat & Scarf set x 2 - not started

Felted Slippers - not started

 

Not sure this is all, but all I can think of at the moment.

[DesertCrocheter]

Well, I have to be careful what I write, because my big sis sometimes browses through to see what I'm up to. So, I'm going to list it by person (with the gift if secrecy is not important):

 

Mom: placemats and wonky scarf--done

Big sis and her hubby: 1 big project done, 2nd will be done tonight

BIL-scarf--not even started

Lil sis: scrunchies--2 done, 2 to go

Neice: scrunchies, fun fur scarf-- 4 scrunchies done, scarf done

Lori: ruffle scarf--done

T: turtle potholder--not started

Nephew: tie--just needs to be sewn; scarf--not done

Monica--would love tomake her a shawl, and maybe I can still get it done

 

I think that was all that was on my list. I wanted to make felted tote bags for several women, but got sidetracked so they will be made for next year.

[francesca]

Whew! This week I finished a ginormous felted bag for my mom (never will I make something that big again to be felted!), a mohair spiral scarf for my friend Ginny, and a sari yarn scarf for my mom as well.

 

That leaves:

Small felted bag for Brooke

Sari scarf for Gary to give to his mom

And maybe, maybe a shawl for Melissa, if I can find the right yarn for the job.

 

I know I probably won't get around to making the herringbone plaid scarf for my stepdad, but what I'll do is package up a photograph of the scarf from the pattern book & promise it to him for sometime in January!

 

The cashmerino scarves I promised to Sinclair and Tobe will probably get made on the plane as I fly from California to Montreal to meet them!
