Hi Everybody! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So, what's everone working on these days?
I've been doing things like the barefoot sandals & the Jessica Simpson look-a-like headbands.
I just can't bring myself to make anything big right now like afghans and such. :rolleyes:
I had a bid on a pattern book on ebay that had retro cover-ups, bathings suits, shawls & other summer stuff but got out bid at the last moment. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Oh well, back to creating!

I am working on a "modular" type sweater and it is turning out great.

oh boy...just call me 'buried-in-w.i.p.s'.. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm about 1/2 finished with the 'bands of color' afghan for someone at work. i bought a lionbrand leaflet at walmart called 'scrap afghans', and this one was on the back cover. it's promising to be very pretty. i went off the written color scheme a bit, but i guess that's the point with scrap afghans...use what you've got.

there's my 'passion afghan'. story goes, i bought this beeutiful teal yarn at Big Lots while i was on one of my working trips. the color is sooo delicious, and i did't know what to make with it. Then i saw "the movie", and on the way home from the theater in my head i designed an afghan. its a huge square in the teal (dc in front loop/back loop back and forth) with a cross mesh in the middle. in the mesh i weaved black chains through. now i'm putting on the teal and black boarder, but i've run out of teal <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> so i have to order more.

there's also the buffalo check for SIL...the list goes on and on.... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Bunny Slippers <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The pattern just looked too cute not to try. I'll probably never wear them but they make me smile all the same.



Plus a blue short poncho that I'm not happy with and I can't seem to get the pattern just right. And another black poncho that I love but I ran out of yarn, and I'm having a hard time finding more <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

How Cute, I see quilting do you quilt also ? I signed up for a class, July 24 will let you know how it turns out.

Yes <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Quilting is my first love, I usually have several projects going at a time. I like to crochet because it's portable, but quilting lets me be creative.

Good luck with the class, I hope you find it enjoyable. One word of caution, the fabric addiction is just as bad as the yarn addiction!

I have been designing ponchos. Just finished a sarong. Working with wire and beads. Always projects on the go at my house.

I am working on crocheting dish cloths, have a kitten in a row afgan about 3/4th done made it so wide it may cover a football field by time finished, have about a dozen beanie hats done for a craft show I will be in this Fall. Never go anywhere without a crochet project with me.

I am working on a vintage centerpiece for the county and state fair.

This is my first time entering a fair and I don't expect to win, but I just think it will be fun. I didn't learn about fair contests until last month, I'm doing this by the seat of my pants. But I'll be ready for next year...

I just finished my first afghan. I have started working on a shawl and premie caps.
