I got a lot done this week, but when I say done, I mean that the content isn’t in progress anymore, and I don’t cheat. So you get a list and then a picture of the one thing I can show you. :)
- Aeolian is off the needles. I couldn’t do the bind-off as written due to lack of yarn, so I hope the edge is sturdy enough to hold the blocking. Not sure when that blocking will occur, though.
- Washed Ashore afghan is as done as I can make it (ran out of enough yarn to do another row). Just needs ends tucked.
- I have two blocks ready for tomorrow’s War Against WIPs post. Edit: I mean it you guys, these blanket squares are for THURSDAYS. :-P
I figured out this weekend that I wouldn’t have any pictures to show you, so I real quick added side pockets to that purse I haven’t finished yet because I’m too afraid I’ll bollocks up the lining to try and line it.
That's a Wii remote in there, to give you an idea of size.
For more works in progress, check out Tami’s Amis WIP Wednesday post for this week!

Running out of yarn? I have to admit that never happens to me, I am one of those irritating people that buys at least one ball/skein more than required.

A friend of mine wanted a blanket and his mom donated yarn she had sitting around. But she gave me WAY too much and I had all this yarn left over, so I needed to make SOMETHING out of it. I figured I’d run out before the end of the pattern, but it hardly matters in this case. :) The yarn is discontinued so I can’t just get more.

That happened to me too! My grandmother gave me a skein of red heart from when it was the other ply (I think it used to be 4 and now it’s 10?) and they don’t even make that color anymore. Ugh!

Wow, lots of progress :) Cute little bag pocket

Cute pocket, but where are the pics of your blanket squares??? They could be your WIP post for quite a few weeks!!! ;-D
August 24, 2011 at 1:27 pm
I mentioned them in my list. They’re for my Thursday posts, remember? =D

Hand slapping head…. I forgot about that. *smack*

Isn’t it funny how fast you can get something done when you want to show your blog readers that you’re working?!
August 24, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Ha!!! I agree with Sharon. The blanket squares are WIPs and deserve to be shown. :D
Love the pocket. I can’t live without them in clothes or bags.
August 24, 2011 at 1:40 pm
They’re gonna get shown. Tomorrow! They’re for a specific meme, so that day is when I post them up.

Not having WIPs in progress to show is a good thing! Makes for an exciting Friday. It’s nerve wracking to run short of yarn, but nice to not have leftover :)

LOL…you’re such a rule follower! Those mushroom stitch markers on my WIP Wednesday post are from this etsy store. They were a happy accident…I had ordered koala ones for a friend, and she sent those by mistake. I was smitten by the mushrooms and hedgehogs…it seemed such a shame to send them back…. ;) We handled the koala replacement through PayPal (she gave me a discount & free shipping). Very nice lady, and she does custom orders!
Can’t wait to see Aeolian!

i can’t wait to see your Aeolian… that is such a beautiful pattern and not for the faint-of-heart.

You just knit an Aeolian Lace Shawl and you are worried about lining a purse!! Get to it woman! You can do it.
August 24, 2011 at 4:30 pm
I don’t see how knitting is ANYTHING like sewing. o.O I’m actually quite bad at sewing. Plus I don’t have the right tools to cut the fabric straight.
August 24, 2011 at 5:06 pm
That brown is just gorgeous. I love it!
August 24, 2011 at 7:35 pm
I can see myself, if I ever made a purse, also getting stuck on the “now for the lining” part. I hope you don’t stay stuck long! And I love the side pockets. :D
