A million WIPs

 

Okay, so maybe hyperbole a little but I have a LOT going on on the needles, hook and wheel at the moment,

Eesh it’s a lot when you put it all together.

Right-o at the bottom is my Christmas Tree skirt; I’m currently working on this months section so hopefully that’ll be one less on the WIP list.

Bottom represented by the orange fluff is my current Spinning project – got a fair bit more to go. Worked through light yellow, yellow, orange and I’m on to dark orange.

And the other one is the ball on the left with the needle stuck in it is going to be Icon eventually.

My zoom loom arrived on Thursday! I’m using scraps from my sock yarn held double (was too thin and lacy singularly) I’ve done 18 so far and have 4 more colours left to go. I still have plenty of scraps left to use but wanted to make one of each colour first.

I’ve started Heere Be Dragonees in some Jon Arbon lace I bought at Wonderwool a few years ago. I’ve done the really really easy bit and now have to do the pattern bit. I’m hoping to get the first chart on this done soon. But it requires a lot of mental concentration, which I’m really really lacking at the moment. Hopefully soon.

Cas Dragon hasn’t been touched lately; but there’s really not too much more to go. Just need to knuckle down and get him done. Laceweight held double in black with a small hook is really slow going and requires lots of light. I’m hoping to make very good progress on this upcoming weekend.

Whippoorwill is coming on a little. It’s been a handbag project for a bit; although it’s now been kicked out because of another project. I can’t wait to get back to it, hopefully soon!

P1030435

I still have a fair few projects for mindless work, including the blanket for Annalise. I want to finish this colour progression by the end of the month so 3 more full stripes after I finish this one row of yellow.

My last WIP is a new one! I’m using the Laceweight Lincolnshire long wool to knit Celtic Myths the pattern is designed for DK weigh yarn but so easily adaptable for any weight yarn. As long as your stitch count is divisible by 8 +3 it’ll work. For now though it’s nice and easy – right side rows increase by 4 stitches (YO, M1 knit to end, M1 YO) and then K3, Purl, K3 on wrong side rows. Lovely!

I have got some things to show for FO Friday this week so hopefully I’ll be back sharing them with you. It’s been a long time since I did a WIP Wednesday and maybe keeping up with it will actually make me do some progress on these works.

I’ve never been a monogomous knitter – but at the moment this is ridiculous!

UFYL Day 3-

  Yesterday was a day off because I worked all day. The idea is to get the house to a stage where 20 mins a day in the dedicated room will do it; but we are not yet at that stage so I had a day off. OH did some laundry and attempted to scrub at a mould stain. Today- Bathroom, Spare Room and Cupboard Under the stairs.   Bathroom:   Before So to start off with grout got scrubbed. See the little white patch in the before? That was where I’d attacked it with baking soda about a week ago. As a result the bathroom was clean-ish but horribly cluttered. I got rid of any bottles that we didn’t use anymore, any face cloths that were damaged because they hadn’t been washed in a while (Note to self, next paycheck buy new ones- Ebay?) and just generally sorted. All surfaces got wiped down including the outside of the toilet bowl, the stem of the sink, the pipes behind the loo, the outside of the bath and the skirting boards. Emptied the bin, removed that POS “organiser” from around the stem

Staycation

Hello all! I’ve had a very busy weekend with my parents being down. While waiting for them to come down I got another 4 squares done on my sock yarn blanket. The left two are from a special mini skein I was given several years ago. I’m not entirely sure when I got given it, but it was a very small skein, probably under 20 yards. Just right to add into my blanket and serve as a reminder though! Saturday we went to Dyffryn gardens – A national trust property that they’re working on restoring. None of us are gardeners, but there was such a lovely selection – In the summer I’ll borrow more photos off my mum’s camera as I thought I’d forgotten mine for the start. Rhys was very enamoured by the cactus room. Sunday we were up and off an on. We went on some Segway’s at Chepstow diving centre, as we booked so late 9am was the only time slot, which was nice as we got to have the rest of the day to ourselves. Poor Mum fell off at the last bit (she’d misjud
