WIP Week - Ap 27th - May 2nd

[Debbi-a1]

I finished weaving in the ends of a lot of things. 4 premie hats. and 4 snowflakes. I made them a long time ago but never finished weaving in the ends.

 

I have other WIPs but have some new items I need to do, so the WIPs may have to wait. As usual... I think this CAL may help me not have WIPs, at least with ends to weave in, as I ilke to do new projects and having a bunch of left over projects isn't fun at all...

Way to go getting all those WIPs done Debbi-A1! Setting a few days aside to focus on those WIPs (even if it just weaving in ends) is a great idea. I have one item left on my list for tonight/tomorrow after which I am allowed to start a new project. I must say, I'm just itching to start a new project .

[ScoobyDoo0811]

Great job ladies!!!! Lots of pretty pics and I see a lot of progress being made. I haven't posted in a couple of days as night before last I went to bed at 6 pm . Haven't felt good the last couple of days but have got quite a bit done. I am my own self, as I got in my yarn closet and found a bunch of scrap yarn and some more WIPs. Two of them were large grannies and I turned them into baby blankets. Here is my updated list and some pics, some of which were on my list and others weren't . I think all this is going to take more than a week to complete, so I hope all of you will still be here to give me encouragement to finish and pleasure me with what you have accomplished.

Great job Scoobydoo0811! You have accomplished a lot! I especially like the baby granny blankets!

[_Stacy_]

Wow, you have accomplished a lot!! I love the bookmarks- is it a free pattern?

[darski]

Oh Wow scooby... I love those large granny ghans/ Well I like them all but the grannies are just special. Good idea to bring them down to size too.

[ScoobyDoo0811]

Wow, you have accomplished a lot!! I love the bookmarks- is it a free pattern?

 

 

TY TY ladies :hug!!! I am really trying hard to get some of this stuff completed and out of the way. I still have a lot more to go but at least I can see where progress is being made. Good thing is I am not starting anything new until all this other stuff is DONE!!!!!!!! I will post some photos maybe later tonight of the yarn that I have wound, boy is there lots of it. Just means that I have more scraps to use as I am tired of seeing all these little balls laying around. My stepmother sent me a bunch of scraps, partial skeins, and some full skeins.

 

Yes Stacy those were made from a free pattern provided to us by a fellow viller, Teakaycee. Some of them I took her basic pattern, like the circle and square, and then I just added a shell border to them. I have also used her pattern and made the curly q and thong part and then made flowers, rabbits and other things. Lots you can do with her pattern. I like the curly q better than the fringe .

Have fun making them.

[FosterMom]

Well I made good progress on my afghan but not finished. I am just not enjoying it and avoiding it when I really just need to crack down and get it done once and for all. Instead I start new projects! HA HA I am a lost cause.

 

Great job scooby everything looks great and you got a ton done.

Wow, great job on crossing off your WIP's, HappyOldCro!

Thanks, Scooby. I just love the curliques at the ends.

[a_stitchintime]

 

Awesome job, you gals!

 

I will not be near my goal for the week, so I am already spilling into next week ...

The good news is that I will have a "wicked cool" present for me from the Mystery CAL (that will be bringing my ytd Stashbusting Score into the positives ), and is 1 thing that I wanted to do this quarter over at the "havin' fun and gettin' it done" CAL

 

One of the patterns I am using for my bookmarks is the "Irish Lace Scarf CAL" pattern (modified a little)

 

and I DID do that spring cleaning that will inspire the HAL/CAL

 

Wow!... am I a CAL addict !!

 

Darski- This is the best CAL yet!

[a_stitchintime]

... just a heads up...

 

it's called "Some good clean fun?!"

 

oh, man....another CAL to join:lol

 

well, my DH is gonna LOVE this one! Maybe he will even become some kind of crochet enabler

 

ok.... back to business.... 1 more bookmark before bed.

 

See you all tomorrow!

[ScoobyDoo0811]

:sleep I think I am about ready to call it a day/night. As promised, here are some pics of the yarn that I have been winding. Some of it took me forever and a day to wind as it was just a big pile of knots but I was determined to not throw it away and not cut it when I got to a big jumble of mess . Some of the larger balls are from projects that I frogged.

The last picture is of the granny squares,saltines, and circles of hope that I have made using the scrap yarn. I have just been tossing them on the bottom of the coffee table . And of course my favorite thing of all still has to be done, Weaving In the Ends .

[basjordan]

I'm loving the pictures. It's great to see how much everyone accomplished in one short week! I got "hooked" into the mystery CAL by all the great press it got over here, and that side-tracked me, but I'm still pleased with the progress I made this week on WIPS.

 

Now to go join in with the good clean fun!!!

[Colleenka]

Thank you for the ,, :kickand pushes! I did it! I more or less completed my list:

 

- finish an ugly small, scrap squares afghan - DONE

- finish a little pink sweater that just needs a sleeve and some embellishments and then make a little hat to match. - Sweater is DONE - skipping the hat!

- find out if I have any navy yarn left to finish a BICO - frogged it

- wash the three blankets I've just (or just about finished) - two blankets washed.

 

Not bad for a week! What a great CAL to get things accomplished! Thanks Darski!

 

So, if any of you carry on, I'll be dropping in and cheering you on. I might join you again with WIPs in the future. But now I get to start some new projects for a change.

[darski]

Well I think I will spend the day finishing that bias knit scarf. it could be finished so quickly if I just did it.

 

I got several of the pet snugglies seen to so the week was well spent. And getting my May scarves done was major for me. It would be too awful if I didn't have a project ready for my own CAL

 

This has been great! I expect to put time into this stuff over next week as well.

[a_stitchintime]

...I am still in bookmark heaven...

 

I wrote out the list of teachers and staff that I need 1 for, and came up with 26 instead of 22:eek.

So with the 4 I have done, I am back where I started: 22 Bummer!

 

I don't think I will be able to do them all the same as I had wanted to (the Irish Lace pattern is just taking too long.) So I am going to mix it up... maybe if I do each one different I won't get bored and lose .

 

Off to and

 

I'll be here for this week, too, Darski...Be back a little later on.

[darski]

Well the scarf is done and I made an earflap hat to go with. The good news is that I finished the scarf (and hat) and finished the skein so it adds to stashbusting

[minwifeof4boys]

well, started two new projects.... ..I really am not very good at this ...~sigh~
