This poor blog. Like so many before it, begun in a flurry of
enthusiasm and high expectations has experienced something of a slump. I’m not
up to my eyeballs in a Masters anymore
and the real revision for the frightening next exam hasn’t started yet so I not
in any great need of procrastination. As such (apart from a slightly manic
crocheting session just before Christmas when I HAD TO crochet mistletoe and
stars in every colour I possessed (embarrassingly many)) both the blog and
crafts are neglected. I am making myself finish works in progress before I let
myself start anything else, and am now bored with all of them and not doing
anything.
Works in Progress
- Rainbow Quilt for Bob – I have a front, a back, wadding and I have even basted the sodding thing. Feed dogs on sewing machine stuck in down position and there is no way on earth I can bring myself to hand quilt it…
- Baby Quilt – its ready to be backed and quilted… just need a) motivation and b) someone to have a baby
- ‘French Quilt’ – enough patches made for a double bed quilt… they just need sewing together, backing, basting, quilting…
- William Morris Quilt – see above
- Rowan Wool Swing Jacket – back, fronts and ¾ of one arm done. Can’t find pattern, don’t know where I am up to. May have to frog the whole thing.
- Crochet cushion – front done, back 5/6 done. Just need sewing together.
- Crochet blanket 1. Approx. 80 granny squares done. Need crocheting together and a border. I hate crocheting granny squared together. I currently have a huge number of coasters.
- Crochet blanket 2. Large granny square for Bob. About 4 foot square. I have told myself it will be ready for its border when this last ball of yarn runs out. IT IS THE LONGEST BALL OF YARN IN THE WORLD and I don’t think it will ever run out.
These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my
head (oh, no – and the English paper piecing purple monster).
I have a shopping basket full on www.woolytail.com of lovely
style craft Aran just waiting for me to press go… and when I do the lovely owner,
noticing it is me and I live down the road will come and deliver it and we will
drink tea and talk about wool but I really should do something about the on going
projects before I start a new one.
There is a business opportunity out there for someone,
finishing projects I have started… honestly there is a fortune to be made.
