I started a square from this book last night. I working on Scattered Leaves, no 98. I still waiting for my LTK book to arrive so I want to practice.

Thanks for starting this one Athba.

[MithraGoddess]

I think what I'm going to do is a few squares with a general size 8 needles and some projects with a verigated Acrylic ww yarn

 

In the end I want to do some pillow covers with a chart pattern but I think im going to do those out of a tunisten stitch instead with crochet

still waiting for my LTK book T_T

I have reserved the book from the library. When I get it, I will start. I think I might just be using stash yarn, whatever I find laying around. I am trying to do a few projects with scraps, so I can use them and I won't get bored.

 

I am going to use 4mm needles and all the yarn will be double knit.

Hi Tracy We keep running into each other. lol

I'm using DK weight yarn I have on hand and 4mm needles. Probably scraps of pinks since I have so many.

[tracysthings]

Are you sure I am not stalking you?

[MithraGoddess]

LoL

I told beau I was starting more projects and he gave me this "oh no" look

[Carousel]

:rofl

[Carousel]

LoL

I've been given that look too. When school goes back I'm going to be doomed working on all these projects and home schooling and keeping house clean.

I wonder if I can make all DD subjects work with craft in them.

Finished my first square. This one is called "Scattered Leaves" No. 86 in the book.

Picture is clickable. Thanks for looking.

[tracysthings]

Pauline, that is pretty. Now I want the library hurry to get the book in for me.

[SheffnJerri]

Hi Athba! I have this book and the yarn for an aghan on my list for this year. I just need to finish up a few more smallish knitting projects. Hopefully, they won't take too long. I'll be looking forward to see which blocks everyone chooses.

[Carousel]

Just finished my second square. I'll post a picture tomorrow hopefully.

[tracysthings]

I ordered the book off Amazon today. I also have it reserved at the library, so will be interesting to see which gets here first.

[Carousel]

They probably get there at the same time Tracy. lol

[tracysthings]

With my luck that would happen. I already have one pattern memorised. From looking at the cover of the book, the square from the princess pram blanket is in there.

[MithraGoddess]

I just got my book today!

unfortunately, ordering it gave me some.. money problems

but beau helped me out a bit

Gonna take tomorrow and after my interview (for yet ANOTHER job...) I'm going to review it and get started. I'm so EXCITED!

[Carousel]

That's great Tracy! Is that the one with the leaf pattern in the lower corner? I really like it and am thinking of giving it a go next. ( whenever next is lol)

 

Elanae Glad to hear you got your book. Don't send yourself broke over it though. We will all be here for a while I think. At least I will be. Just ask Tracy how many wip I have going. lol

[tracysthings]

Yes, that's the one. It is pretty and I have stitched 4 together and I like how it looks. I am getting inpatient for the book to arrive now.

 

Here are Pauline's projects.

Tracy you could the best medicine for me. Your going to guilt me into finishing some of them ( notice I said some not all )by showing everyone my embarassing list. Glad I didn't put the number of each of these in front of the list that's even worst.

[Carousel]

:bounceOOh! Can you show a piccie Tracy of your squares. I really want to see.

I just want to see pictures of your work. I am going to do a mixed needlework skills course starting next week and hardanger is one of the subjects. Method to my madness.

I will take pictures in the morning, the lighting not very nice in here at night. I am busy with the 11th square, so might have 3 complete squares stitched up by then. 1/3 of the way for the blanket. Maybe I will be finished by the time the knitted squares book gets here.

The mixed needlework course sounds great! Hardanger is really quiet easy. Just remember to check carefully where to cut before cutting threads.

Oh piccies tomorrow

I post a couple of pictures of some of other crafts later on today if I can.
