Year of Projects Update #1



I am a few weeks behind everyone else since I joined the party late so I will be numbering my posts differently.

This past week my plan was to block my blue lace scarf and get that all done.  I finished knitting on this one back in May so it is about time I got it all finished!!  So here are a few pictures of it all finished.  I am really pleased with this scarf!!  So pretty!!  There are more pictures here and here.


I also got all the patterns printed out for all the socks I have lined up for the rest of the year so that is all set to go!  I am including progress pictures to show where I am at with each of my WIPs.  I hope to slowly, but surely, get them all finished up over the next little while.

Zip
Chicane
Advent Scarf
Crochet Scrap Afghan - I now have 50 squares complete.
Vanilla socks
I have been working on the crochet afghan most of the time this week.  It is fun, easy, and quick!  It is also nice and mindless so I can happily watch TV and stitch away!  Most of the knitting projects I have going now require me to pay attention (all but the vanilla socks require thinking - lots of charts and details to watch for!!).

This upcoming week I plan to focus on Zip and the afghan squares.  I also think I should spend some time on my vanilla socks - they are getting closer to completion!  Check back next week to see how far I managed to get!

  2. The crochet squares are very bright and cheerful. That definitely looks like TV crafting. I can't wait to see Zips - they're in my queue.

  3. I am jealous of your mad crochet skills. I don't know why I don't get crochet. I mean, I think I can do the basic stitches (if I'm watching YouTube at the same time) but I just haven't figured it out. It is perfectly fine, however, because I can knit :)

  7. YOur lace scarf is pretty. You did so well on that. It will look wonderful on you. I like your crochet squares. I can see how they're mindless. Traditional Granny blanket construction always fascinates me. I hope to work on one one day after I get my niece's ripple done. You are so good about working on each of your WIPs and be a professor too? What a great juggler/multi-tasker you are.
