WIP Wednesday

Made some progress on an Amy Pond scarf for the shop.

Made some progress on my Events socks in the car on my way back from the Yarn Crawl.

Added the H and corner border to my Halloween sampler.

Hello, Halloween things. Welcome back.

Desk display! Plus one of those rag garlands around the cubicle wall and dancing skeleton window vinyl clings on the overhead bin.

Couldn't help myself. I had to cast on the Eyelet Swirl Cap immediately. This stuff knits up beautifully.

The dollar store had drapey creep fabric, so I bought 3 more to layer out the 4 pieces already on my windows.

The dollar store also had these haunted houses. The lights weren't included, so I've got a cheap LED flashing necklace in there.

And these were $1.50 each at Ocean State Job Lot, plus electric tea lights from the dollar store. I consider today a success.

I may not be able to knit because of resting my right thumb joint, but I've got an extra left arm to help me out when some costume stuff comes in. Finding/being given 5 extra bags of fiber fill means I don't feel guilty about stuffing the lumpy torso eith

Spinning some extremely soft alpaca/sheep wool blend to get my thumb back into craft motions.

I just keep adding to my fake candle things for Halloween. I'm really liking the glow.

Managed a couple of lollipops in the L square today. Thumb joint still isn't pleased with the movement, though. :/

I'm alone in the house and it feels like a cookie day.

WIP Wednesday

Finished piecing the pieced squares. Pretty soon I can put together the rest of the quilt top.

Fall colored rag garland for my front window.

Fall colored rag garland on my side window!

Finished the A and some of the skull border.

I'm classing up my chicken pattie sandwich with handmade cheese from the farmers market and my homemade red pepper hummus.

Finally catching up on some @coverville podcasts and piecing together this quilt top.

Quilt top achieved! Not bad for an afternoon.

WIP Wednesday

Decided to go with A Piece of Summer from The Weekend Quilter. Using a scrap of magical dragon fabric to choose colors. DRAGON QUILT. I'm excited about it. I'm going to see what other fabrics from mom's stash I can use tomorrow.

Getting in some weaving and Farscape time.

Awesome. I can start the finishing on this scarf before the new Doctor Who episode!

Working on some cards for the Etsy shop.

Slowly making progress on this bag. So many tiny stitches, folks. So. Many.

Turned the heel on the second of my Loki socks.

Labour Day sales/coupons kicked a dent in my paycheck thos week, but I got a free sandwich! Thanks @clamhoppers for the gift certificate from your graduation.

Starting the piecing for my dragon quilt!

Ironed out my piecing from last night. Really pleased with how the pieced squares will look.

Now that the chaise is gone, we moved a computer desk upstairs for Mom's work stuff and I moved the rocking chair out of the tiny corner it was wedged into. Just have to wait for Mom to pick a chair for her desk from the 3 spares downstairs.

Finished my Loki socks. Time to wash and block these suckers.

Started a Halloween sampler fron The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. Had a couple of false starts on 32 linen, but I found that size to be too uneven for good crosses. This 28 is working much better. I'll use the 32 for something else.

Me and this glass of ice are going to try to get some spinning done.

Finished a letter!

Made some progress. This ghost is pleased. The other ghost I haven't done yet has more of a smirk. I'm looking forward to it.

WIP Wednesday

Playing with a new photo app and this WIP while waiting for some work to process.

Taking it easy while my back heals up. Doctor's orders. I'm hoping to make some progress on this Amy Pond scarf for the shop.

Got bored working on the Pond scarf all day, so I finally cast on my Loki socks.

Pond scarf progress.

Sock progress!

Made a little business card wallet thing. First chance I had to use my clearance sale rainbow thread. :D

Cast on a simple sock in a self striping yarn to be my Event Sock this season. These are the socks that will come with me on long car rides and fairs. Patons Kroy Socks in Rusty Stripe.

Made some progress on my event sock yesterday at the NY Renaissance Faire. Read more about my trip at freakishlemon.com!

I think today's book weeding will leave me with 1.5 empty shelves! AMAZING.

I ran out of this particular yarn that isn't carried by my local stores any more, so I turned this Amy Pond scarf into a cowl for the shop. Which resulted in some creative blocking.

Finished one funky looking Loki sock!

Working on Loki sock #2. Toe-up socks still feel a little weird to me.

Progress on my Event socks.

My mom bought me a present!

Thinking about making another quilt and I like these 4 patterns from The Weekend Quilter. Which one do you think I should do first?
