Temptation…..

I’ve been working on the same three large projects for quite a while now.  I’ve got startitis…. and it’s bad!

I’m doing my best to not start anything new, but this pattern is next on my list for my college daughter.

I found the pattern at my library and the book is on order.  I am going to do it in Nutmeg color – a very pretty brown/ neutral.   As soon as that book is in, I can guarantee a gauge swatch will be on the needles.  I’m hoping that will be enough to tide me over until Hearts is finished!

The Insanity Continues

This is up to L2, I am just over half done.

Wee Snowflakes!

My friend wants a garland of snowflakes.  I’m making every one that I can find that will be 4″ or smaller.  This is just the start!

Best Tool for the Job

Sometimes, it’s not about talent, it’s about tools!  The insanity needlepoint would not be possible without this fantastic lamp/ magnifying glass.  Purchased at Harbor Freight for about $30.  Get yourself one!

Nova

Here’s the latest row done on Ginny Morrow’s Nova (needlepoint).  It’s my oldest WIP, by far.  Some of my friends sucked me into doing it, and then we all got distracted with other shiny things.

We’ve all decided 2018 is the year to finish Nova.  A square a day will have me finishing this in November sometime.

This is on linen, by the way.

Sunflower Table Runner

This is 8.5″ x 17.5″ and used one ball of Knit Cro-Sheen exactly.

Once it’s dry, it will enjoy the rest of its days being appreciated by my aunt as a decoration in her Amish-made China cabinet.

New Stuff !

Thread projects look so sloppy until they are blocked!

My first Christmas present is done already – couldn’t pass this snowflake up for my brother. A little too big for the tree, but only by a bit.

Erishkigal Skully Snowflake

Then there’s the Sunflower Table Runner I’m making for my aunt.

 

Skull Doily Finish

Skull Doily

Photo Friday!

Here’s the second skull doily I’m making.  It’s smaller than the first, so I might finish it this weekend.

This Mosaic blanket is really impressing me.  The pattern is super simple to remember, and I love how it’s turning out.

Now that I’ve finished Death by Popcorn, I’m putting in the requested red beads for eyes. Entertaining to see that after blocking, the eye sockets are larger, and it made the skulls look depressed!

Feeling lucky

I don’t have any great progress pics to show.  I’m helping to edit another skull doily pattern, but that’s in it’s beginning phases.  I haven’t worked on Nova.

I did, however, find a great deal at my thrift shop for some yarn I can use in my Daisy blankets. $5.50!

The teal/aqua at the top (really, I don’t know which is which) is an awesome shade.
