Wednesday Wip's -------November 4, 2009

Miss Kitty · Wednesday Wip's -------November 4, 2009

A new month!!! Whatcha Doin??
Lets hear all about your Wip's..

Me;

Yesterday I started a scarf- about 5 times. Couldn't find the right yarn. I went though my stash!!! May go back to one that I had.. Or just wait till my order comes in.

Started a Christmas Stocking. Doing a toe-up 3 color one.

Afghans are in UFO pile.

I'll pull them out this winter..

Serena

Wednesday, Wednesday, already. Whew!

Did a few rows on that lap blanket. It's taking some effort, as you can tell. No more offering blankets here. Too big!

The dishcloths for the swap are drying on the rack.

The Christmas projects are waiting for me....

Mom w/a Motif

I'm crocheting afghans. Supposed to be doing a potholder. Wanting to buy yarn to make the same sweater as TXCL, "Amused"... (Sigh)

Tina

I put the scoodie aside and did up a few dishcloths.

I am finishing up on another baby blanket, hopefully I will complete it today.

Well since I am in the gotta make another sweater mode, I chose this pattern. We'll see if I can do the top part, cause the rest looks like stockinette.

I am using Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in Hyacinth, which is a vivid darker blue. I wanted a top down pattern so I am hoping this one is as easy to follow as the instructions for Amused.
Tina, I got the new Knitpicks catalog yesterday. It has the bowling bag purse on the front. What color are you looking for at Knitpicks for the Amused?

Kahud48

That is a pretty sweater Selena, the neck line is gorgeous!

Miss Kitty

I really like the neckline of that sweater..
thanks for the link!!

Mom w/a Motif

That's the catalog I got, too. I want to do it in the yarn (or at least the same color yarn) it has in the pattern. When I tried to click on 'buy online' at Ravelry, it said nothing was available or they are out of stock. I will have to try again later. Okay, never mind. It's a worsted weight... Maybe Swish Worsted would work... (It's about half the price as the Karabella.) :0

Your next sweater is pretty.

Mom w/a Motif

I just ordered some yarn from KnitPicks to knit Amused with!

I'm so excited.

Tina

TX CrochetLover

Well, I got off count first thing and had to frog. Grr I hate that! Of course it was only 4 rows, isn't that pitiful? So, I am gonna watch TV tonight and redo the rows I already did, but with a lifeline from row 2 which is a knit row. Thanks for the kind words and Tina, glad you got your yarn ordered.

I have done nothing. Been in hospital. Missed you all. The sweater looks beautiful.

Kahud48

Hope you are on the mend

We missed you too kiddo!
Glad you are back home and hope you are feeling better

TX CrochetLover

Thanks maxine, glad to see you are at home now.

Miss Kitty

anoramaxsis- Glad to see you back.. Please get better soon.....

I started a new project......Jr wants me to make him a Big Blankie. I was going to let him loose on Knit pattern central to see if there was one there he would like. But I found a bag of fleece squares Camo and black. His eyes lit up and "That'll work". So yesterday he cut the holes on the squares and I got 6 crocheted. Joint effort..

TX CrochetLover

Now that is the way to make 'em work for their gift! Ya know he will probably appreciate all the work that goes into making it now that he had a hand in it!

Miss Kitty

It took him about 30 minutes to do them all.
He just zipped right though them. Told him that I couldn't crochet that fast..

How's your sweater coming along TX?

Serena

Have been working on a scarf, and made soap yesterday.

Yesterday was a good crochet day.

TX CrochetLover

I gave up on the neckline on that sweater, after 3 times, I said forget it! I am apparently not ready for this pattern. So I am making another one, an easier top down one.

Miss Kitty

Sorry you were having so much trouble with the neckline.
That was a pretty sweater.
Can't wait to see the new pattern you picked out..

TX CrochetLover
