WIPs

So, here's the scoop on what's on the needles...

First off, here's a preview of the first side of the Imprint pillow.




Next the Rosalie panel for the blanket. Embroidery to come! Each panel will be a different color, with a different symbol for each member.

Thanks, Mel!

The book wins! I'm working on Panel One for the blanket. Rosalie's panel, to be exact. :) Pictures to come, surely. These are big panels, so they'll take a lot of time. Wish me luck!

Priorities - Advice anyone?

Okay, if anyone's out there, please help! What would you do?

I've got a few projects to finish for the book. I gave everyone a deadline of November 30. The projects I've got are:

- A blanket, made of 9 squares, with possible embroidery, and crocheted together.
- A pillow - basically 2 large-ish squares. One in a fur, and one in a solid color with a small bit of colorwork OR embroidery.
- A doll, maybe. (Right now I think that's the one thing I'll drop.)

Now, I also have an opportunity to make some money. Next Tuesday and Wed. there will be a boutique, and if I can knit up a few things, I can sell them. However, all I've got right now is ONE hat. To finish enough to really sell seems crazy. I'd have 8 days to do maybe 3 more hats, and I was hoping for a few dolls, but that seems utterly impossible right now. *sigh*

An experiment

I'm part of a swap, and wanted to make something for my partner. Fingerless gloves/mitts seems to be a big thing (I'd never made them before), so I figured I'd make some for her. I thought it might be cool if they matched the Tourniquet Scarf, so I found an easy pattern and modified it for these. They're not amazing. They're my first shot, but I think they look okay, and hopefully they'll keep her hands warm. :)

Just in case she doesn't, I'm sending yarn, too. :P
