WIP Wednesday ~ 1/17/2024

 

I thought I'd do a weekly post listing my current crafty works-in-progress (WIP).

~~~~~~~

As of the moment, I have a Valentine Bear started that I'm not sure if I'm going to finish or not...  I'm so disenchanted with it that I didn't even bother to take a picture!

Other than that, my only WIP is a Think Pink Prayer Shawl for my Etsy shop.  I'm almost halfway finished with it at this point and would really like to complete it this week as I didn't even touch it last week.  The pattern is based on Attic 24's cozy stripe blanket that I've modified.

I have been creating all week and finished quite a few items but you'll have to come back for Finish Friday to see what I've completed  :)

What are you working on?  How many WIPs do you currently have?

WIP Wednesday ~ 1/10/2024

 

I thought I'd do a weekly post listing my current crafty works-in-progress (WIP).

As of Monday afternoon, when I'm typing this post, I have two WIPs that I'm actively working on and would like to get finished this week.

The first is this "Mini" Cow.  It is a free pattern by Grace and Yarn .  I started the regular sized cow pattern and it was huge!  I then decided to switch over to the "mini" cow.  Even the mini cow is turning out quite large and is taking quite a while to finish.  I have to make two arms, some spots and tail to finish it up.  I'm going to put crocheted flowers on the head instead of horns as I don't think female cows have horns.  Correct me if I'm wrong, please!  I'm hoping to finish this up soon!

My second WIP is a Think Pink Prayer Shawl for my Etsy shop.  I'm almost halfway finished with it at this point and would really like to complete it this week.  The pattern is based on Attic 24's cozy stripe blanket that I've modified.

  If I start (and don't finish) any more projects before Wednesday, I'll let you know :)

What are you working on?  How many WIPs do you currently have?

Work In Progress ~ 5/16/18

 

 

I've been enjoying sitting on my little deck and working on Ashley's Afghan.

Here's where I was at last week:
 

 

 I've made great progress and have completed just about 5 and 1/2 rows.

 

It is getting a bit harder to fit the whole afghan in one picture without getting a chair to stand on and taking a picture from above.

I've been sticking to my word and tying in ends after each row. 

 

Being over half way finished with the main body of this afghan feels great!  I need to have it finished by June 30th for the Bridal Shower.

I'm also excited to say that I think I'm going to have enough yarn to complete the project!  Whohoo!


What are you working on?

Work in Progress ~ 5/9/18

 

 

I mentioned the other week that I'm working on an afghan for my cousin's bride-to-be, Ashley.  I've only met her once, but she is very friendly and plays a mean game of Corn Hole.

 

The Bridal Shower is July 2nd and I have a lot of work to get done by then.

Here's my progress so far:

 

 

Each row has 9 squares, therefore, I have 31 squares completed out of 90!  I better get moving!

 

 

I'm crocheting simple granny squares and joining them with a single crochet stitch.

Here's my "helper", Star.  I haven't decided if she more of a hindrance than a help, but she keeps me company while crocheting on the deck.

Speaking of crocheting on the deck, here is my little "Nook".  I absolutely love my little deck with my swing and patio table and chairs!

 Here's my little workplace.

The deck gets full sun in the afternoon, so the umbrella is a definite need.

 So, back to the Ashley's Afghan.  There will be 10 rows of 9 squares and then borders depending on what yarn I have left.  There are a variety of colors and I love it!  I hope I can give it up come July! 

I'm really enjoying working on this afghan.  Some people think Granny Squares are old-fashioned, but I love making them and think it is so relaxing.  The only bad thing about Granny Squares are tying in the ends, but I'm trying to be good and am tying in ends after each row and then connecting them.

I'll be keeping you updated on my progress.

What are you working on?

Read, Crochet, Repeat ~ 3/27/13

My current read and project are:

I'm reading "The House that Love Built" by Beth Wiseman.  I've read many books by Beth but most have been Amish.  So far, I'm really enjoying getting to know the characters and the town is supposedly where the movie "Hope Floats" was filmed.  I look forward to digging in deeper.

Today, I started a Twisty Scarf in Red Heart "Mexicana".  It is bright and vibrant.  Just what I needed to get my spirits lifted in this dreary start to Spring.

I read.  I crocheted.  Now, to repeat.

Have a great day!
