I'm inching closer and closer to the finish line. Today I did my last cable row and started decreasing. I hope it will go really fast now that there are fewer and fewer stitches with each row, and no annoying cables to slow everything down. I might actually get it done in time to use!
I made a bunch of progress on this hat since the last time I posted about it. In fact there's only one or two more rows to go before I start decreasing to finish it up. If I hurry I might even be able to wear it before next winter. I'm heading north for a... Continue Reading →
Yay! It looks great, was fun to make, and only took me a few weeks of sporadic work to finish. This was definitely a good project for me to take a break from knitting and actually finish something quickly. I can't wait to show it off at the farmers market this weekend!
I got a lot done on the handle but not quite enough to finish. Tomorrow for sure!
One handle is done! Another night or two and the whole thing will be finished. I'm going to put in another plug for this pattern because I have really enjoyed it, and it looks amazing. Plus it's very easy to modify into lots of different sizes and shapes. It's even free so you have no... Continue Reading →
I made some extra progress while watching Game of Thrones last night, and then a bit more today. Now I'm all done with the skulls and have a nice row of HDC at the top to attach the handles to. It feels like this project is just flying along!
I haven't been able to post in a couple days but that hasn't stopped me from making progress on this project. I'm debating how much taller I want it to be. The pattern calls for 5 skull rows but that is for a slightly smaller diameter bag than what I've made. I suppose I'll have... Continue Reading →
Tonight it is back to skulls again. The bag is big enough now that it makes a nice bowl for all my yarn for this project.
For reasons that nobody can explain, I decided to make this fish bag this weekend instead of working on my skulls bag. It's super cute and I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet. It was a very quick and easy project though! (Pattern here if you want to try it... Continue Reading →
The second row of skulls will be purple. Because why not. I'm gonna have the cutest skull bag ever!
Skulls! They look even better than I expected. This is such a fun little project!
I finished the base of the bag and can start working on the adorable skulls. I'm really enjoying this pattern so far. It's much easier than it looks. I can't wait to get a completed skull section so I can see the final effect.
