Craft Wrap-Up

[imjustlori]

A day late, but there's a good reason for that. :-)

Quilting

• Mystery Quilt: (ignored) pieced the center of the top. Starting to think about the fiddly piecing that has to happen, though, and might wrap this one up soon. Still thinking about this, and want to get it moving again before the end of the month.


• The Boy's Quilt: (ignored)  I need to clean my floor, move furniture, and get this sandwiched.


• My Quilt: (ignored) With the no need to think of my son's quilt's piecing, I think this one will sit a little longer.


• The jelly roll quilt: (ignored until the Mystery Quilt is done) I've showed the fabric to everyone who would hold still long enough to look. I'm pondering background colors now.

Knitting

• Baktus: Done! Ends woven in! And I love love love it.


• SURPRISE old project! Back in 2010 for my birthday I bought yarn for a tank top. I have knit on it in the summers since, and Went ahead and pulled it out once again. This time, I've completed the body, pinned the bits together, tried it on, and I love it. So all that needs is the finishing work--I'm sewing up the sides, then completing the neckline and armholes. The reason the update is late is that I wanted to get it cast off before posting.


• LIME GREEN TANK: (ignored) Not done for trip. New deadline: SSK in July.


• Orange top: I changed patterns, and cast this one on. I've selected a fingering-weight pattern, but am using a DK weight yarn (slightly thicker), so I'll be fudging a little as I go. However, I love the fabric I'm making, so I'll make this work.


• Also getting some love this week is the sock yarn blanket. It's an inbetween-project that gets attention when I need a little something, like a palate-cleanser. I'm debating whether or not I'll re-start the lime green socks, or move to this other sock yarn I have...either way, I need to get some socks started. Because all I've got beyond that is summer tops, and they'll get too big to travel, eventually.

Cross Stitch

• Yellowstone Lodge: (ignored)

Spinning

• Market Spinning: (ignored) I still need to measure it and tag it for sale.


• NEW Market Spinning: (ignored) called Wisteria, it's a lovely white with hints of purple. I'm thinking it will be my usual fingering weight when complete, probably in July.


• Selfish sock yarn: (ignored) no movement. But I found it!


• 3#Fiber: (ignored) Spindle-spun fiber washed and set. It's a lovely...laceweight? Okay then. That bit will not be for sale, and I'm going to start the test-spinning to reach a DK or Worsted weight this month.
