I finished the monster rock band hoodie for DS and I love how it turned out!







As for this week, I plan on starting the crocodile version of this shirt.

I finished crocheting a hot pad and am almost finished with another dish cloth. I had been procrastinating on mending for a few years now, other than stuff that needed immediate attention. I got through 7 or 8 jeans, a pair of shorts, and 3 shirts. I need to pick up some elastic to replace a few waistbands and one other color of thread, then I should be able to finish the last of my pile. I sort of fixed the arm on my rocking chair that has been loose for as long as I can remember. I say sort of because the arm no longer comes off, but I need a longer screw to get it a bit tighter, and all my longer screws are at the other house. I got tired of LO always taking it off though, so I just made do for a temporary fix. I also finished a few more design specifications for some play food. Nothing very exciting for photos, but I am pleased with how much I accomplished this week.

I'm still working on a baby blanket for a friend's shower this Saturday. Hopefully I'll finish in time. Unfortunately, I have had this amazingly awful cold/flu thing for about 2 weeks now. I'm finally feeling like myself again, so I have a bit more energy to work on projects! Woo!

Where does everyone host pictures? I can't seem to figure out how to upload them to a post, so maybe I'm supposed to host them somewhere else, and link?

kendraj426 - I use tinypic.

I'm still knitting the same prayer shawl. I'm about 44" into it so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Why is it the smaller the yarn ball the faster I knit?

I got asked at church how it was going and I told them I was knitting instead of crocheting and they got excited. Apparently no one there knits anymore so they are looking forward to the end product.

I am still knitting away at the Antler cardigan for LO. I think I'm going to make the button band red instead of gray as I am running out and don't want to buy another hank just for a button band.


I also made a bib for LO this week.

What are you working on this week? Several new paper dolls for the etsy shop and plans for a new kickstarter campaign!

What did you finish since last week? The Ash cosplay for comic con

Any pictures to share? Sure! Here we are with Bruce Campbell in her little Ash costume

What are you working on this week? Cross stitch still, found my lost stitch in my sock (knitting) and the dinosaur coat rack. I've chopped all the dinos, and painted and the last one is curing as we speak. 2 of the 4 I should be able to mount with no issue, but he other 2 I will have to fill somehow to secure them.

What did you finish since last week? ba ha ha finishing ya right

sarahsews I want one of those!!

ardent I'm mad jealous!


So I started this project busybeingjennifer.com/2013/08/ocean-tides-granny-square-afghan/
I picked up 4 balls only so far to see how many squares they made, so far I managed to get 9 out of one ball. So I should be ok with 2 and have a few leftovers. I need to pick up the rest and then pick a grey/cream to stitch them together. Of 56 squares I have 12 made. I managed to make 3 last night while watching netflix in bed

I'm still working on my blocks for the MooglyBlog Afghan CAL. I almost finished block #1, but I crochet too tightly, and it's far too small. I'm almost done with block #2, and I made a start on block #3. Normally, I would just work on one at a time, but I met up with another woman who is doing the CAL too, and we were trying to figure out some of the trickier stuff together. I'm too lazy to crochet up gauge swatches, so I just switched to a larger hook for the blocks 2 and 3. I'm really hoping they will be the right size (or at least close to it) when they are done. I'm still debating whether to redo the first block or just add some extras rows to get it to the right size.

This week, I'm hoping to get caught up on the CAL. I also need to make a pin cushion and some goodies for a birthday swap. My daughter is teething again, so I haven't been able to do anything during the day. My husband and I started working out together after the kids go to bed, so I usually pass out on the couch afterward. I need to find some crafting time! I'm feeling really deprived.

I really like that second square! I'm hoping to do something like this next year. I'll spend this year getting better and learning new stitches so I can play next year :-)

I'm working on a Gryffindor corner to corner throw.

[sudokufan]

I made good progress on a Timmy Time quilt:


All I need to do now is trim it to square, make the binding, and then, y'know, actually bind it. Hate that part - but he's started dragging it off my work bench and around the house so I better hop to it.

I didn't finish any projects though - we were a sick zone all week so I was lucky to do anything crafty at all! Oh, I also worked a bit on my Red Wings baby afghan while keeping my sick little guy company (watching Timmy Time on the couch).

[craftcrazymama]

Bit late to the party - sorry!

I managed to get my second sock finished so now I have a pair! Yay!



Dyed and reskeined (and sold) some more hand dyed yarn.

Also continued with knitting my baby blanket but got distracted by a new cast on. Have started the Kiddy Vertebrae off Ravelry but one of my Knit Pro tips snapped and I didn't have another that size. Have to wait until Monday to get to the store for another set!
