WIP Wednesday..a day late

I am working on getting over a cold. So I have had a lot of time to work on my crafting.

I have worked up a design for a simple crocheted round purse using 2 metal dream catcher rings, I will post a pattern for the finished project tomorrow, before the inspirations post.



I am also working on some handspun, it is koolaid dyed and I call it my Cherry Limeade. This picture is 1 of the single I spun, it will be plied with a thick and thin single in the same colors for a finky pastel art yarn.


I spun Cherry Lime-Aid on my new Pioneer spinning wheel named "Kaylee"



I blogged about Kaylee here

Another big thing to add to my stash of cool gadgets, is my new Bond Brand Ultimate Sweater Machine. While I get so frustrated with it sometimes, when it actually works as it should it is wonderful!


This is Combat Baby, she is partially finished...I need to add a scalloped edge to it, and then "kill" the acrylic yarn so it lays flatter. (Tutorial on Killing Acrylic is available over at Sarah's blog, here.)


I may be starting a Tam for myself, but I haven't decided on a pattern, I might pick and choose what I like from several different patterns. And accommodate them to fit what yarn and needles I have on hand.

WIP Thursday

Alright, so not much to report. Just trying to tame my WIP basket, only 2 projects left in it, 1 I don't have photos of, but it matches the Daisy Jane hats I made last week.

Daisy Jane. (raveled)

It is in the red tone, and has the flower on the end, and is the width of 1 side of the pentagon made from the flower. It will end on the other side with a fringe, on the end of the fringe will be many more small flowers to match the single large flower.

The other project I am working on is that shawl I showed you a few weeks ago on WIP Wednesday. I have not progressed any further. My health and my school work has interrupted that momentum, and so she sits in the bottom of a box, just waiting for inspiration. (raveled)
