I have three balls of Scheepjes colour crafter in grey in my stash and I’m not entirely sure where they came from. I think I might have been given them for free or almost free at the local craft store where they know me because the colour was discontinued or something. I don’t know why I accepted them because it’s not really my colour, but it’s been in my stash for a while. I knitted a shawl over the last couple of weeks, I picked up the yarn at a craft fair and got the pattern for free. It’s a very fast and easy knit. It calls for 2 x 150gr balls, the grey yarn is 3 x 100 gr so that’s perfect. And it’s the kind of pattern that you just keep repeating until you run out of yarn. So finally this grey will leave my stash. I think I will give the finished shawl to my mum, who really likes grey and beige and gets cold a lot in winter.
Also, I climbed up to the attic today and found my box of “to be framed / finished” cross stitch. I knew there had to be more than was lying around in my craft room and I vaguely remembered “a few old things” in the attic. It’s of course way more than a few things, a whole box. Plus a couple of empty frames. Let’s see if I can get some more finishing done this summer.
A couple of hats completed in the 1st week of June before I went on vacation. 125 grams / 312 yards used.
The left one matches the rainbow theme @J-squared ! Nice job.
I made a spaghetti strap nightdress! It’s nothing spectacular but I had some knit fabric left over. This was the last bit left over from a piece of fabric I bought from a €1 remnant bin years ago. I finally finished up my red bobbin stitching this. The lace bias tape was a friend’s scrap. She sells all sorts of sewing notions and this leftover bit was too short to sell, but I figured it would just be enough for the top of this nightdress.
Honestly, I could have done a slightly neater job but I wanted it done, and it was going to look a bit weird anyway. Normally I stitch the strap all around the armhole but I just folded the fabric over because I didn’t have enough fabric to make the shoulder straps any longer. But it’s done, this scrap is finally out of the stash and no one is going to care what my sleepwear looks like.
Looks very comfortable, especially for the summer weather.
Yes, I was definitely trying to follow the June rainbow theme on the first one. The one on the right I’m calling the storms before the rainbow. The rainbow colors were from yarn sets that also contained the stormy colors.
Hooded froggy baby blanket entirely from stash. Used the last tiny bit of the yarn to tie a label onto it so the whole 3 skeins of green are out and in the world being useful.
How cool is that blanket?? 
and even better that it’s used up a 3 full skeins with no leftovers.
