Turtles

Almost Done

Yeah.. The mini granny square blanket is almost done....Only need to weave in the ends and to make it flat. I know I should have blocked, but I didn't feel like it. I will probably just flatten it with my steamer. Makes it softer to. The leftovers are going into this ripple. Everytime I finish something and there is not enough to do something else with it, I just add it to the ripple. Guess that will be a very weird ripple in the end as I have a lot of different yarns.

I found some crochet cotton. Only one skein and it is discoloured. It has been lying around for ages, been moved 4 times. I will have to find a nice colour to dye it. I decided to crochet a bag to hide the plastic shopping bags in. I actually probably want 2 of them, one in the kitchen and one in the car. When the one in the car is empty I can change them, but then I will have to buy some cotton so that will have to wait.

I also found some of this red structured yarn. I recently bought a hairpin lace thing an I want to try to make a nice shawl with this red stuf. Have tried a little to do the hairpin thing, bu it is not going as I like it yet. Needs more practice...

The Moebius is going a little slow. Haven't done much crocheting and knitting for a while so need to watch for hand injuries. The moebius gives me cramps again. I guess that's because it is on circular needles, I don't think it is the movement...

I will just do a bit every night and the it will grow until it is big enough.

I will also need to do some more sewing soon...Fortunately I have 2 weeks of from work!!! So I can spend a lot of time on these things (well..have to do some DIY in the house, the goal is to have the house done before I have to go back to work...)

Of to the shop to buy some food...Girl's gotta eat...

Progress is seen!!

I have finished the green round for the flowers!
Now, I will need to weave in the ends before I do the white round. I am planning to join them while crocheting the white round. Never done that before, but it should work. I have some green left to do a very small border when they are all put together, and then a lot of white to make a nice border around that. Friday the book I ordered, 200 Crochet Blocks from Jan Eaton, arrived and I found a nice border for this mini blanket in there.

The mobius is growing too. At first it was very hard to knit, but as it grows it gets more relaxing. The first few centimeters my left hand got very cramped, not anymore. It is now about 15 cm and I am not yet sure

on how long I have to continue to get a nice length. I was thinking about the length of my upper arms, and maybe a little more than that. I don't think it will work if I make it much longer.

I am still thinking about what to do with the lilac hexagons. I found some black of the same acrylic wool, maybe I can combine them...
Well...I am of to go weave in ends, and do the white borders.

My Stash Part 1

Can't wait to have to have some days of from work.
I need to do some more painting in the house and finish some wips...
I made myself the promise not to order anymore stash until I have reduced my stash by 90%. On the left in the first picture is some cheap acrylic. I Don't have a lot of it so I am making a granny square mini blanket. I have finished with the orange (15 flowers) and red (3 flowers) So now I am working on the green part. The final square as it is in the picture is 17x17 cm. I don't know what I will do with it when it is finished...Probably give it away...

The Hexagons are from the same cheap acrylic. I started this one a few years ago. I don't know yet how to finish this, either all hexagons or ripple inbetween rows of hexagons (which will probably go faster. Make it a blanket, or a poncho, or a scarf, still thinking .....
This one is easier..This will be a scarf. Size 10 knitting needles. What you see is what will be the final structure of the scarf, the knitted part. This is also some very cheap, very acrylic yarn. But really soft.
And the last one for this post (yes..there are more...I know...) These will be a mobius scarf. I read about it somewhere on someones blog (can't remember where, didn't bookmark the blog, will try to find it), saw the cast on on youtube (will look for that link to post later), had to make one. It is already 10cm but haven't made a picture of that yet.

Now I have to get to work...only a few days more and then I will be of for almost 2 weeks...

First Post

So...This is my very first post ...and for now it will be a short one...
I am at my work during my break and just opened the blog...

I don't know yet if I can keep it going (I am very well known for loosing interest after a while and then later pick thing up again) but I wil sure try. I do all kinds of crafts and will use this blog as a tool to keep working on all the WIP's and UFO's and new Idea's.

Don't have much time, but I will be adding some more info and photo's soon!
