pattern- fusion blanket

cotton fabric, red heart soft, loop and thread impeccable

for the most part this is pretty easy. you sew some blocks. do some top stitching. crochet on top of the top stitches. join the blocks. I did two rounds of hdc, then joined with a flat braid join.

pattern- Ishbelby Ysolda Teague

needles -size 5

yarn- Knit Picks Comfy Fingering Weight flamingo

6/E glass beads

there are a few mistakes in this one just like with anything i make. I've had this yarn in my stash for a bit of time i was going to make knee highs with them. but i messed them up , frogged and tossed the yarn. so im not really sure how much yarn this one takes so im just going to say its less then 400 yards. and i still have a bit of yarn left over.

WIP's/ in the works

i traded a women at knitting group some sock yarn for the gray worsted weight yarn,she was trying to make socks with. someone gave her a gift set with a sock book, random yarn and size 8 needles. and these socks are coming out real big for a reason. i want others to love knitting, and work with the right supplies. i forgot to give her sock needles. i hope she can find some if not i'll bring her a set of mines next week.

so yea i got her gray yarn and i picked red and orange yarn from the random yarn box at knitting group. i hope it makes a cute robot.

I still need to get beads for the shawl.

i really dont want to start to many projects i have a big one in the works once i get the yarn and set everything in order.

Loops & Threads Charisma in ashes

granny squares coaster

size j hook

pound of love lions brand- white, Ella Rea- brown, blue

i also sent a pair of candy cane earrings i made and a couple of pieces of candy

*******************
I'm working on another elephant. then another doll and hopeful i can get to Toledo at some point. I also want to start working on more items for myself. I need to get some yarn for this sweater

Stripey Spring Cardi by Mari Lynn Patrick  3 colors of yarn 528 yards each. I'm trying to get away from 100% acrylic I'm thinking

 comfy  45$ acrylic/wool

wool of the Andes 33$ wool

dishie 36$ cotton

full circle 40$

 

hmm i think a crochet sweater cost a lot more to make because it uses more yarn i think I'm going to have to go acyclic for this one. but i will go with better yarn for a knit one. I think i might try wool of the Andes

this is what i've finished latly

one WIP                     

one hat

second WIP

a couple of the grannys for the month

third WIP

i finished some one elses WIP's. the person passed away, and the daughter in law wanted to see how some of the items would look once they were finished. so she gave me all of the persons yarn and other craft suplies.

these two just needed a little work . the hoodie only needed buttons, the jacket only needed a collar and buttons. i made a little blanket to go with the jacket.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i've been trying to sell a few of my crafted items on ebay. but so far nobodies bidding on them. :(

i was supposed to be saving the money in my paypal account for a gift for toby. but then i saw things on ebay that i wanted. barbie shoes and stands. i need them for the county fair.

oh im working on my last items for the fair i have until the 24th to finish. i finished all my WIP's so that i can work on that and my granny's for the month. i will work on the fingerless gloves for busy bees after i finish.
