Hey!

Guess what I did? I technically finished my sweater!! Neat huh?

Except for what you say? That button band is making the sweater all cinchy where it shouldn't? Yup, pretty much. So I ripped the whole band out and than I remembered, I was going to add a little length once I finished the sleeves, so I undid that edge and will continue the rib a little farther and try a swing at that band again. And believe me, there was no amount of blocking that would fix that problem. It is an easy fix and she will be done before I know it!

What have you been working on? :)

Sleeves are done!

And I've already started on the hood (finally!) she's starting to come together! But it's Santa Ana season over here and it's been stupid hot… we've been hosing Watson down a few nights a week in order to cool him off and I finally went out and replaced our broken fan, so it's been hard to sit down and power through like I want too. Still, I'm managing to get a few rows done in the morning before I head off to work to melt!

Hope you're getting work done on your projects too! (And getting some cooler weather unlike us!)

Ps: if you care, I've been posting my progress on Instagram fairly regularly, so feel free to follow me if you want more updates!! :)

Drawstring Bags

Hey guys! Slowly getting back into the swing of things here! I have a few projects I am working on, but I wanted to show you some that were actually finished!

Behold! Drawstring bags! I needed a larger project bag for my sweater, so I decided it was as good an excuse as any to make myself one of those cute baggies I see popping up on Etsy and Pinterest.

The other is (yet) another dice bag for my man, who I have decided has an unhealthy addiction to dice. I mean seriously! But they're easy to make and he likes showing off to his pals what his wife can do! He could definitely be doing worse. :p

So what have you been up to?

Lazy Sunday

WIP- Done!(-ish)

Sorry for the terrible photos… it's been one of those days!

Here's number one of my mystery project! I'm debating whether or not to write up a pattern for these suckas... There's one more to go, and a month until I can fully 'unleash' them to the interwebs.

 

However, this thang is done and delivered. This is a Plastic bag Holder based on In Color Orders tutorial. I didn't quilt it('cuz I don't quilt), and I am happy with how it turned out! (So's my mother-in-law, it was her birthday present)

Hope your week going well!
