Here are my goals from last week...we'll see how well I did.
*1) order rest of supplies needed for projects - done
*2) finish the one washcloth - actually finished one and knitted another! This one is crocheted........
This one is knitted.........I should have unfolded it.......it's Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth....a free pattern on Ravelry and my favorite!
3) finish chapter 4 of Falling Leaves Lace Scarf (which may be a bit much...I'll see) - I didn't quite make it but almost...2 more rows but here's my progress...........so far so good.....
4) finish another pickle dish - didn't quite finish this either..........but I'm still loving working on it........
5) find those dang I Spy quilts and my folk art quilt - no luck here....I think I have leprechauns in the house!
6) finish heel and gusset on sock #1 and start on the foot - again.....almost........I have about 12 more rows on the gusset before I start the foot..........
7) cut binding for sampler quilt - didn't touch it
8) trace embroidery pattern if light box arrives in time (I don't have Prime so it takes forever!) - light box has not arrived yet
9) cut material for pillowcases if blades arrive on time - blades have not arrived yet
10) attach soles onto my slippers and they should arrive this week - they arrived but I did not get them sewn on
11) work on 4th of July pillow if interfacing arrives -interfacing got here but I haven't worked on it yet
I did get my row counter (can you ever have too many of these?) and the soles to the slippers arrived...........the soles are leather so no wonder they were pricey. I love this counter by Clover...so much easier then those little barrel shaped counters.
Here are my goals for this coming week:
1) Keep searching for the I Spy quilts and my Folk Art quilt
2) Finish the first Felici sock
3) Finish the first full repeat (20 rows) of the Falling Leaves scarf pattern and put in a lifeline
4) Cut and sew up my daughter's Frida Kahlo basket
5) Sew soles unto slippers
6) Finish Pickle Dish #2 and cut material for the next one
7) cut binding for Sampler quilt if rotary blades arrive
8) cut pillowcase material if rotary blades arrive
9) do finishing sewing on 4th of July pillow
10) trace embroidery pattern on material if light box and tracing pen arrive
I also have a question for you knitters out there.....is there a reason for slipping the first stitch as opposed to just knitting it from the left needle? In my Falling Leaves scarf the instructor says you don't need to but in my sock knitting they always say to slip the first stitch when you're doing the heel as those are the stitches you have to 'pick up'.
Please stop by and see all the other
fantastic projects that other YOP'ers are working on.
Happy
Trails!!!
