Christmas CAL... anyone interested???

[Lynz]

Everyones prezzies are looking really good .

 

I've been working on a hat, scarf & mitten set for my 2 year old nephew (not sure if that one was on my original list!!!) which I'm quite pleased with.

 

I went to the new knitting shop in town last weekend and found some lovely soft Alpaca for the two scarves I want to make my friends. Have started one of them but I think I'm gonna run out of wool - oh no, I'll have to go back to the shop!!

 

I have also now completed four little animals so far for my neice - pig, mouse, hippo and duck - still got plenty more patterns to go!!

 

I'll try to get some piccies over the weekend.

Have started on nephew toy#4. Its going really well, so this one should be done in the next day or two.

 

Still plugging away on the same sock for pair #4...argh...

 

Haven't gotten any further to finishing up my holiday dishcloths/towels. I have however pulled all the yarn aside and it is just waiting for me....

 

I REEEEEALLY want to get these nephew toys done...they are holding me up for alot of other things!

OK. Getting pictures uploaded into photobucket and I can show you a few things I have done!!LOL

I just finished the second out of five panels on my mom's afghan three more to go yay!

Am I the only one that feels like Christmas is weighing down on them?

 

I know Christmas isn't about the giving and maybe I've set lofty goals for myself, but truth be known- if I don't make gifts...we don't really have "it" to purchase them either...and I have ALOT of scrap yarn laying around. There is very little I have to purchase for that....

 

Maybe I'm just having a tired week...

 

I am 3/4 of the way through sock 1 of pair #4. I am on the turn heel so things will fly after this!

I've completed five more dishcloths. I finished the sweater set for the baby. I completed pair o socks #4..can't remember if I said that already or not. I have started pair #5. I'm still stuck on some toys. I'm anticipating getting past them soon.

[ChayaSar]

I completed the candy Apple Shrug for Marshelle!!! Woot woot!!

[siminsc]

I'm going to start over on a new list. I've been figuring out what to make for Christmas.

 

Cradle Purse

Dinosaur

Doll

Sweater for Granddaughter

Spaceship with Aliens

 

I'll add more to the list when I figure out what else to make. I should be able to do these fairly quick since they are small projects.

 

What would be a good sweater/cardigan pattern for my 12 year old granddaughter? Does anything pop into anyones mind? I'll check at Ravelry to see if I can spot something good.

[Bizzyboppers]

I have finally started on 4 yr old niece's present (a castle with princess, prince, dragon and horse). It's almost done. I only have the two animals to make and embroidering some faces on.

 

Then its on to finishing up the Pokemon characters. They are just taking too long!

[Bizzyboppers]

Sweater set for newest nephew.

Ballband dishcloths....and....

Regular dishcloths.

 

7 yr old nephews present...

 

Plus 6 Pokemon characters, 4 pairs of socks and a castle much like the spaceship...I'll be posting the free pattern for that sometime soon.

I feel like I could crochet and knit 24/7 and not get done what I want to.

[siminsc]

Your presents look so nice! I've only got three things on my list now. I've shoved everything else aside for now.

 

I've got a cradle purse half done, the bunting done and the doll about 80% done. I still have to do the arms, a skirt and put a face on her.

 

I started a vest for my granddaughter but decided the yarn wasn't going to make it. Too stiff. I bought a skein of Caron Soft yesterday. I'm making the vest Mei-Mei from Everyday Crochet.

 

I'm working on an alligator from an old McCall's Magazine 1975 for my grandson. I've completed 26 rows of it.

 

I'll post pics of everything later.

[siminsc]

I'm almost finished with Mei Mei. I'm on the bolero shaping part now.

 

Things haven't been going good with the alligator toy. I don't think all the directions are there. It doesn't say anywhere about sewing it shut.

 

The cradle purse is done except for the drawstring.

[Bizzyboppers]

Good for you Sim! It's great to get done with things. I swear my arms are about to fall off. Next year I am going to start making washcloths, etc at the beginning of the year and setting them aside for gifts so I don't have to do this last inning stretch every year.

 

Yeah...maybe I'll actually do it...

[siminsc]

I've finished Mei-Mei! It's so nice to have a project done. I'm working on uploading a pic. Now that that's done I've decided to start working on Putting on the Dog. You can see a pic from the magazine of it on my bloq.
