Podster Glovesby Glenna C.

yarn- Knit Picks Palette

these gloves took a very long time. i like how the color pattern turned out. this is my crock pot dyed yarn.some people say it reminds them of peppermints.

 

no pattern, its just half double crochet only knit into the back loops.

I got the the yarn for free i had to buy five dollars worth of stuff and shipping. I tried to block the hat and i guess it stretched out way to much. because it very loose. its great for holding all my hair.

Émilienby Ariane Caron-Lacoste

Knit Picks Comfy Worsted -celestial,hawk

needles 4,5,6

i think the zipper might be to small, but it is done. I took me about five weeks. I  really like the way it looks cute. Toby likes it (i think)

 

I over blocked the gloves the first time. i let it them dry  over cups. i guess they were to big. so i re washed them and re blocked

Veyla by Ysolda Teague

Knit Picks Palette- dyed yarn

needles size 3 and 4

the lace was the most time consuming part of the gloves

 

Wips

 

blanket squares. i got tired or measuring out the spaces after the first two. so i just blanket stitched eyeballing it. so not all the spaces are even. but as long as i crochet the same number of stitches around each it will be ok. so I do 2dc,ch2, 2 dc into the corner, then 10 dc along the side, do that all the way around sl st .ch3  2dc, ch 2, 2dc in the corner, then just dc into the dcs of the last round

I'm working on finishing up a hat right now. then i think i may start on a new sweater. its the little red riding hoodie from stitch n' bitch superstar

I also found a quilt shop in Belleville. its kinda small. but the lady that works there offers sewing lessons for 30$ for 6 hours. and its one on one, i can pick the days. now i just have to think of what kinda quilt i want to make and then buy the fabric.

3-10

I haven't posted in a while so i guess i just gave up on that craft a day thing half way thought the month but that's OK. I'm not a planner or one who can follow the rules.

oh I'm in another swap this one is swap on a budget 20$ budget to get , yarn, and extras. you also have to add one handmade item. but as i said i can't stick to rules. so i just keep adding things. which is what happens with every swap I'm in. i love making things.

these are somethings I've made since my last post

some small bead

made of polymer clay

i set this up and gave it to the library for the knitting group

I'm weaving in the ends to a barbie dress and hat set. finishing up on the quilt i started in the last post. it kinda got put on the back burner because of the sweater. I'm working on an Afghan alone with knitting today magazine. I'm using lion brand amazing. I'm also going to make some items to add to my etsy shop i think. maybe some hats, purses, earrings. I ordered cascade 220 to make a hoodie i hope 6 skeins will be enough i can always buy more later i guess. so that's all I'm working on.

I joined an etsy team. Team Queer Etsy link is over on the side. check out the queer shop and all of the team shops.
