Ok, bad news folks. Nothing is actually finished. But several other things are in works after several frustrating hair-brained attempts. And I think I am getting a cold. But that is an offside, but I think it explains the hair-brained attempts. I have, however, taken pictures of the wips. Here goes:The above pic is the beginning of Koolhaas designed by Jared Flood made out of useless stash Lion Brand wool ease. I know. Shudder. Acrylic. I am shuddering too. But my hubby wouldn't let me buy anymore yarn, and I had to do something with my garage sale stash.
This is the beginning of a Molly by Alana Dakos in Blue Sky Alpaca in Cotton. I couldn't find all of the Spud and Chloe desired colors in one place, so I needed to sub. I think it will work fine. If not, well, I will get my niece a charm bracelet.
This is a crochet teddy bear. I got the pattern from Ravelry. This is vintage yarn sent to me from my grandmother. I ran out of stuffing, so I will buy stuffing and a bow tonight. It ended out shorter and wonkier than the pattern. I did follow it correctly. I don't know who the recipient will be.
This is the beginning lace triangle border of a shawl designed by Gudrun Johnston called the Homin Shawl. It is being worked in Madelinetosh Prairie in Earl Grey. It is for my best friend Marcie. I am praying it will be ready in time for my holiday to California in mid-August. It has been the bane of my existence. It is like a wrestling match between the yarn and the pattern.
Well, there you have it. I am hoping to have at least one finished by next Friday. We shall see. I shall keep you posted!
