All the Projects

currently listening to: Shameful Metaphors by Chevelle

Is this not a true statement for everyone who does any kind of craft work? I knit and crochet and dabble in a number of other things as well, but it has been a while since I was able to finish anything. There was a hat a while back that I did while on a road trip to D.C. That was an 18 hr+ drive in a minivan with another chaperone and 2 high school students. thank all that is good in the world that I was not in the 15 passenger van!

That aside, I've got at least 2 things I'm trying to finish this month to put in the county fair in a few weeks.

The first is this cowl that I started working on not too long ago. The pattern is free, Abstract Leaves Cowl and not too difficult. I'm working with a really beautiful Merino wool mix that I got from the Yarn Barn  on a club outing in May.

The other is a set of fairy wings that I'm putting together to hopefully wear to the Renaissance Festival in September. I'm not sure if they will be finished in time for the fair, or if they will turn out any good but it's my first wire working project, and almost my first project working with plastics so we will see. If they are any good when I finish I will post a tutorial. My Goal was to make them adult sized, and have them so that they could hang down my back rather than stick out and get in the way. That last part will be more about how I affix them to a harness when I get the rest of the 4-piece set completed. The photo here is the nearly completed first wing. The harness will have it hanging lower on my back than where it is being modeled here.

Sweater frontpiece

The rest of my ongoing projects include this Terriermon amigurumi that only needs his face stitched on, the beginning few pieces of a Happypotamus  amigurumi and the front piece of a sweater called Rings of Saturn.

Happypotamus flowers

Those are in addition to the Babette Blanket that it currently on hiatus because it is almost finished but needs one more granny square but I don't want to buy a whole skein of black yarn right now for just one square.
