Wow! That sounds like a really big party! Does it help break up the monotony of winter, or do you have mild winters there? I’m sorry, my geography is terrible.

I sort of felt “guilty” for buying random yarn to get the best price for shipping from the UK, so I jumped in and make a couple of quick projects with one skein…this is called the Ramble on Beanie…a fast and squishy knit. I had a bit left over so I made a headband as well!
I am now at Project #25!

Spring Cleaning out a WIP

I didn’t join this Craftalong on purpose because I figured this year would be too busy for crafting. But, just in case, I did fill up my knitting bag with yarn and cross stitch projects, and I took my sewing class backpack with me our temporary accomodation. And it turns out I’ve been more productive than I thought! It’s difficult to take good pictures here so I haven’t really posted anything this year, but I’ll try to take some pictures outside today.
But here’s what I did:
- a crochet afghan Scrappy crochet throw
- two pairs of fingerless gloves Stashbusting gloves
- a skirt More spring sewing projects
- a pair of socks
- another pair of socks
- a pair of pyjama shorts More spring sewing projects
#4 is technically a spring cleaning project, although I started last weekend and only had to finish the second sock’s toe today. I knitted these socks previously, but after one wear, I found they were a bit too big for me, I used my go-to pattern but I think I used needles one size too big. So I washed them and then frogged them and buried those two little balls of yarn in my knitting bag for months. I finally re-knit them earlier this week.

I find being in a smaller space with only a few projects available can be very helpful to productivity. Glad it’s working for you!

HEY EV-ERY-BODY! It’s time to vote in the Spring Is In The Air Challenge! Get on over there before the poll closes on March 27, 2023!
I made a bunch of linen embroidered towels last year and had a little bit leftover from each colorway. They weren’t big enough for a proper dish towel, but a good size for a hand towel or maybe for wiping up spills, etc. I put a loop on each one with twill tape so I can hand them on a hook next to the sink.
They just needed hemming all around. They are plain, but I resisted the urge to decorate them since they will probably get used a lot.
project #38…going for 40 by the end of the month!

I love those linens & the idea of using them for hand towels.

I hit 26 for the first quarter with my Plate of Brown-Es! 
I have 4 projects that are mid-way through completion, though! So maybe by the end of the first week of the second quarter, I will have those done! Well, three of them, at least.

I finally finished the socks I was working on for my hubby (started last August). I messed up on the heel for the first sock, so it looks a little funky. The good news is it fits well! This is my 8th project for the year. They are a pattern called Salted Carmel from The Knitters Book of Socks.

Beautiful! I love the choice of yarn. I find that colour changes can sometimes distract from the pattern but in this case the colour and the pattern go together beautifully.

I have just realised that I am so very far behind in my making goals… but Inhave also made other stuff and haven’t posted yet, so here’s a few things to add, which I will link in my list once I have given them their own post.

Has anyone made one of those knitted-then-felted cat caves? I’m thinking about trying one out. I’m not sure if either one of my boys would be interested, but I have plenty of friends that have cats plus there are deserving cats in the shelters.

I did a cat bed that I felted, years ago. Two previous cats ago! She loved it. It was a pi shawl, made into a bowl, and felted & then dried over a Tupperware cake tub.

That eyelash yarn around the edge is so cute. I haven’t seen that bed before! Adding “go to yarn store” to my list of To-Dos.
By my count I’m up to 24 projects now. Waiting for this swap item to be shared:
Trim to be added to a bag & there’s something else interesting on the craft room table too.
The itch to stitch is upon me!
@AIMR how do you get your images so small?

After your pictures are loaded, put a comma, 25% or whatever percent you want after the size:
Example: 375x500,25%
