I'm working on a sweater. It's a practice piece to test the cabling pattern for a sweater I'm hoping to design for myself. To save time I'm making it much smaller than my own size and will donate it to a homeless shelter when done.

One Sheep said...

I've been horribly neglectful of my knitting - there's nothing OTN at all right now! I bet a Calana Craft Surprise Bag would change that situation, hint hint, wink wink, beg beg, pant pant.

kylch2003 said...

In my continuing efforts to destash, I am crocheting a large granny style afghan to cover my couch. Seems as though when I leave my yarn stash alone for very long, it multiplies. Hmmmm!

craftycrafter said...

Right now I'm knitting some socks for my son (age 3) and a shawl for my sister. Also a scarf for the same sister. Soon to start some socks for me, and kilt hose for my ex-husband

danielle said...

A pair of socks for me and a shawl for me. Baby bootees that are more off the needle than on because I keep ripping them outand changing patterns!

liniecat said...

Well which pair of needles are we going to mention? lol
I had begun to make myself a burgundy kind of pullovery tabbard kind of thing. With a V neck and the sqauares et on the pointy edge? I sketched the idea and have yet to prove it will work...watch this space lol, then it got abit warmer so its on hold for colder weather.
I also have a scrumbly crochet 'thing' growing as the whim takes me, but have yet to decide if this is going to form a bag or be a wallhung wonder....
I have knitted up a huge bag and am waiting to machine wash it so it will frimly felt up. I am half way through knitting a super long Icord which I hope to swag round the sides and then use it as handles.......again, I sketched the design out and am winging the shape and style.
I love working that way and though I buy loads of patterns, I rarely hold strictly to them, they tend to evolve into a similar version of what was intended by the craftsperson who devised them.
Thanks for the lighthouse pic link by the way........wonderful skill being able to produce photos like that!
Stay well........Lyn

Timiae said...

katerina said...

I am working on the Baby ribbed jacket by Debbie Bliss in some Elizabeth Lavold cotton, and a simple sweater/wrap in some Berroco sock yarn and ignoring a UFO of a yoga bag made of some unknown yarn that I 'inherited' sometime ago. I plan on bringing the Baby sweater out tomorrow for WWKIP Day!!!

Scalpay Linen said...

I'm busy knitting squares for the Square up 2 a blanket project with the SassyGaels. I don't expect I'm eligible to enter the draw - besides, I make all my own yarn. Think I might find a nice bit of handspun as a prize for Calana Crafts next comp!

Martha said...

I'm knitting a cotton tank for my oldest daughter and a cotton dress for my younger one. Just something light and summery that I can see them in.

Banan said...

Anna

Sarah said...

I'm knitting thick cotton socks--warm and non-scratchy for my wool-allergic love :)

Rosemary said...

I'm knitting a cotton sweater - it's my 3rd attempt at this pattern, not that it's difficult but getting the tension right with cotton is a pain. I'm also finishing stitching a birth sampler for my latest great-great-nephew - all zoo animals and I must finish the last animal, the giraffe this weekend.

crofter said...

I'm stitching some log cabin cushion covers from old dreses and crocheting granny hexagons to make into a laptop bag. Also have a couple of knitting projects on the go (basic jumpers) but want to start a shawl...
