Project Title: Purple Cord Catchers Swap Item: LC Grab Bag Swap
I made two of these for my two partners in the Grab Bag Swap, but forgot to get pictures. I snagged this one from kayrun’s post in the gallery, hence all the other stuff around it. The fabric is some of my solar printed cloth, and I was able to use up some ugly ceramic and glass beads as the weights inside.
Project Title: Scrappy Dishcloth Swap Item: LC Grab Bag Swap
When I made up my two packages for the swap, I had a lavender purple dishcloth for one, and for the other a bar of lavender soap. I decided to make it more even by including a scrappy dishcloth with the bar of soap package, and a scrap of soap in the solid dishcloth package. I love how cheerful this scrappy little friend came out.
The morning zoom call gave me the opportunity to weave in some ends, so I finally have something to show for myself. Fair warning that all I’ve wanted to knit this year is doll sweaters and dishcloths.
Project Title: Brown Variegated Doll Sweater Hufflepuff
In the realm of looking for things to use up sock yarn that isn’t a pair of socks, we have a doll sweater for busty dolls (short row shaping in the chest is quite noticeable). This is my 2nd sweater using this pattern and this time around I went with garter stitch edges instead of ribbing.
Project Title: Pint Size Dishcloths Hufflepuff
The standard Granny’s dishcloth but made slightly smaller to get two out of an undersized skein. Started the decrease at 40 sts instead of 45.
Project Title: Headmistress’ Challenge September - Quarto Bookbinding Hufflepuff
I got back into bookbinding over the summer. This is my 4th project of the recent rekindled interest and I am super happy with it. 120 pages, quarto size (quarter of US letter). Except for the filler paper all the materials (book cloth, binding board, scrapbook paper) had all be in stash for 10+ years.
I have a friend who works with special needs students and has a kiddo who likes dressing and undressing dolls but doesn’t really have the dexterity or patience for things like sleeves or closures. We put our heads together and thought a basic shift dress, open at the back and with the world’s longest piece of Velcro might make things easier.
Made using the free shift-dress pattern from Phoebe & Egg, which worked very well. I’m looking forward to adding some of the included embellishments if
@Trillian - such cute dresses! They look lined - are they reversible, too?
Project Title: All The Pretty Stars House: Slytherin
I picked up my paints again after a long break and tried to paint something. Not super-pleased with it, but that’s okay. It’s a lot larger than what I have been doing, 6"x10", I think.
When one have several projects on-going, but you get a new pattern book and want to start something new! Im trying to convince myself that I need to finish at least one sock or one mitten before starting something new. But where’s the fun in that? Can one have to many projects? (Yes. Simply yes)
I mean, its good to finish projects so I can post them here!
Oh well, I can always look in my book and dream away and plan what I should do next.
Project Title: Slytherin Handspun House: Slytherin
I finished up the rest of my wool/silk top from Paradise Fibers (color way ‘Slathersin’). I still have to wash it, but it’s about 395yards/132g of chain-ply sport weight.
