I love all the little badgers!
Thank you! I have more badgers planner to make, but need to do something other so I dont get bored with them.
Better post the socks I just finished, even though it feels like Im posting alot!
Project Title: Scrap socks for brother
House: Hufflepuff
I have come to the conclusion that one of my way of showing love is to make for the people I love. And who doesnt need socks (at least when living in a country with cold, snowy winter). So I made him a pair using some scrap yarn to try to make my stash smaller
Project Title: Scrappy Potholders
House: Gryffindor!
LC Challenge: Talk Scrappy to Me
This bundle of scrappy items were all made for the Talk Scrappy to Me Challenge. I gave some away as raffle prizes for the Midwest Meetup, and gifts for friends. Some are still hiding in my gift cupboard for future surprises.
Scrappy Koozies & Flying Geese Koozies
Sari Silk Trivet
I couldn’t figure out what to make for my gift for the Gift Exchange at the Meetup, till I remembered I had a beautiful skein of sari silk ribbon yarn, that I had been waiting to use for the right project. I decided to take a stab at wrapped rope trivets and bowls. I started with this large oval trivet.
Sari Silk Bowl - Small
I was having so much fun, I moved on to trying a bowl.
All beautiful stuff, but the bowl….wow!
I love all the scrappy projects!
Project Title: Dark Gray Sweater Yarn
House: Slytherin
This is the last of the dark gray roving from Sheep Shed Studios. Admittedly, I pitched a couple ounces because it got dusty when they sanded my bar top last week and I didn’t want to deal with it. I combined the two bobbins of singles while plying and ended up with this monstrous 155g/408yds hank. I’m calling my sweater spin complete with 3 pounds spun up, even if I do have 12 oz of brown left. This isn’t the nicest wool to spin.
@tendstowardschaos You are on fire! So many amazing projects but you made that plaid shirt?!?! I thought it was the project going to be some mending or something since it looked just like something I would buy from a shop. Amazing!
@skrutt Those badgers are so cute! And I’m blown away my that teeny tiny dragon.
@MistressJennie Those potholders look just like stained glass. So pretty!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Hooray! Another term! I’d like to add an advanced study project. I’m working on a roombox
It all came as a kit, but absolutely everything is made from scratch. I guess I should finally finish that throw for Muggle Studies, too! It’s nearly done!
~ ADVANCED STUDIES PROPOSAL ~
Project Name: Reducio!
House: Hufflepuff
Brief Description: I’m making a 1:24 scale roombox from a kit. All the materials are in the kit, but everything has to be made from scratch. I’m substituting a few things to make modifications that I like better.
Inquiring minds want to know - what scale will your roombox be?
Advanced Studies project proposals still need a Header (mostly so I don’t miss them going by). Be sure to add one for me. Or go up, and adjust your last post, so I see it when I go by doing House Points sometime this week.
@MistressJennie Thank you! I’ll adjust it.
@Trillian it’s 1:24 scale. I want to do some 1:12 ones though, too
Project Title: Canned Raspberry Jam
House: Hufflepuff
Inordinately proud of this one - I’d helped out with water bath canning growing up, but had intimidated myself out of doing it for several months. But everything worked exactly as it should and I can work through the fruit freezer stash now.
I did also get up to the first muslin for my Advanced Studies project during the break, but it fit so poorly I basically threw it down in digust. It’s probably been in time out long enough that I can safely tackle it again.
I hope your next muslin works out. But, yay! Jam!
Mmmm… Raspberry jam!
Project Title: Socks for nephew
House: Hufflepuff
Finished a pair of socks today, meant for my nephew. But I noticed I have made the cuffs? sleeve? (the part that goes on the leg) different lengths! They differ 1 cm. And now Im not sure if I should make new one. The kid is 3 years old, so he can use them this season and after that they are too small…
But they look good if you dont know
They look great! And the kiddo won’t care.
Thank you! And Im glad you think so too!
Project Title: Large Sari Silk Bowl
House: Gryffindor!
More Sari silk bowls, and some coasters for my dad’s birthday.
Project Title: Medium Sari Silk Bowl
Project Title: Sari Silk Coasters
Project Title: Purple Rope Trivet
And a trivet for mom’s kitchen, so she wouldn’t feel left out.
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.
