3/35 completed...yikes.
I have added several items to my general list but am not going to consider them part of my blog a long list. My computer has a sticky note application and I have one huge sticky note with all projects listed. Before Christmas I have 25 projects to complete and I am sure more will be added. AND lots more baby items to make for friends and family! Woot!
Onto week four progress...not much. I thought I would get a lot done while I was at my mom's but that was a negative, we shopped too much. :) However, this week I will have a long drive to knit on, hopefully progress will be made.
I went to work on (and thought finish) the owlie sack but realized that I needed to go 2 more inches of stockinette...haven't felt motivated to work on that. So I decided to work on the coffee koozie that is from my "In Case I Finish" list...who said I had to go in order?!
First I tackled yarn barf.
Then after about an hour over 2 days I finished what I'll call my 'Cup O' Jo Cozy'!
Very fun knit and pattern to follow. Looking forward to my morning cup o' jo!How are you coming along? Wish you were further? Need to add more projects? Want to join the Blog A Long challenge? Visit us here.
Hi Shateen - Love your coffee mug cosy and am inspired to do one in crochet. Something else to add to my list for this week !! Three finished things on your list is good. I'm really enjoying the YOP and meeting lots of new cyber friends.
ReplyDeleteMy list keeps changing too! I love your coffee cozy :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your list! It looks like you'll have a bit more time on your hands after Christmas :)
ReplyDeletePerfect button choice for a very jaunty mug cosy! I was falling behind, but I think I've caught up again, but my list is only 17 projects long!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest problem is that when I read the other posts I see things that I want to knit and crochet instead! Last week I made two amigurumi instead of working on my list!
very cute coffee cosy. If i had to work from my list exactly as i've written it I would go out of mind. Npt to nag (commence with nagging) but I'm really looking forward to seeing the owlie sacque finished. No pressure;P glad you had a good time shopping with your mom.
ReplyDeleteYarn barf can be such a pain. I untangled 300 yds of Pashmina over three days.
ReplyDeleteCute cup cozy. Would make nice, simple gifts.
Your cup cozy is so cute! I love the color you picked for it too! and WOW I thought my list was big. Yours puts mine to shame... better get knitting!
ReplyDeleteI hate yarn barfs. I hate them so much that my husband usually untangles them for me as I get so frustrated by the whole thing. Love the cup cozy. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the button on your mug cozy!
ReplyDeletelove the cozi! I should make one too! I have one in my queue, but your's is quite cute!
