Another week has gone by. So have you started anything new or still working on lasts weeks WIP?

Me;

On the needles ~ Clue #3 of the Mystery Sock KAL - This clue is the start to the beading..I'm going to frog

what I have done. It's only half way from the toe to the heel and there is a butterfly in beads, I don't think that would be to comfy with beads in my shoes. And No, I will not were socks with my sandals.

Another set of Baby hat and sock set..
I needed a little bag for my socks projects. So I just finished knitting one and I'm going to felt it today It's 14" wide and 12" high.. I hope it's not going too be too small after it's felted...

One the hook ~ You would be proud!!! I did manage to add a few rows to Big D's Afghan...Talk about feeling the burn - I'm burnt out..

I have crocheted very little we have been out in the yard working.Leaves,cutting grass and weeds. Daughter-in-law has been planting flowers. I am looking forward to my trip to Michaels and hobby lobby.

I am working on baby hats for the charity a long for the meetup group. I have done 8 all in crochet. The one I started on in knitting I screwed something up and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I frogged the darn thing. I mean I made two crochet hats yesterday and I was on my third day on the knitted one. So, I said pooh on this! The deadline is this Saturday and after that I am back on my tank top.

Good job TX..

My Bag is drying.. It's 9"X7" now. Started at 14"X12". I wanted the top of little pocket to curl after I felted it and it didn't do it.. Then I started to think "I knitted one row and purled one row, instead of knitting all rows."

No wonder it doesn't curl..Dang..
I'll fill it up with my sock project and take a picture later.. If it fits.

Just dowloaded the pics..

Just big enough for 1 pair of socks.

anoramaxsis ~ Have fun on your trip.. Happy shopping!!

Thanks Miss Kitty. I will be drooling the whole time.I love to just look and touch. Iguess we all do! Sorry the bag didn't cooperate. I imagine it turned out lovely.

I turned the pocket down and added a button. Doesn't look to bad.. Just big enough for a sock project..

That's pretty Miss Kitty, I like that color.

Way to go Selena! I know just how you felt with that knitted hat.

I hate it when I have worked so hard on a knit project, just to find that I goofed somewhere and have to frog it

Funny you speak of frogging... I have been frogging a shrug I was testing, I did it wrong and had to frog the whole sleeve. Then I got SO irritated I didn't even want to finish it. But I picked it back up today and now I am getting back into it. See what happens when I force myself? (Sigh...)

I finished the wheelchair lapghan I was working on. I may or may not make a matching tote.

I like your sock bag, Miss Kitty. I haven't felted anything in a long time. I think the last thing I felted was a kitty pi bed. (I love your new avatar in your siggy line, Miss Kitty.

My first error was not thinking I needed a lifeline on something so simple as a hat. I did make another pattern. It looks like a conehead would wear it just fine! Well, I got ten made in all, today is the meetup, but I am going to visit some friends coming over from south of Ft. Worth instead. So, I'll deliver the hats on the Tuesday meetup.
Tina, how is the shrug coming today?

Mom w/a Motif

I am almost done with the first sleeve.

Edited to add: I finished the first sleeve. The pattern I am using is available and can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25023177

How hot is it in Texas today? It was 100 here today. (And it's still May...

) I stepped outside with the puppy and (whoosh!) it felt like a brick oven.

Hey that is some fast work! Temperatures were in the mid 70s on Sat cause it has rained for a week on and off. Today is sunny! Yea!!!!!!!! Probably be in the 80s. This morning though, I have on sweats! LOL!

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

I have my sweat on, too.
Hubbie has all the doors and windows open and I'm chilly...

That is very pretty Tina. I can't wait to see it when you get it finished.

We are having an unusual cool spell here today. We are not suppose to be getting out of the low to mid 60"s.
Very unseasonal.
