PrincessMommy Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 sorry I went MIA on this thread. Life got very busy leading up to Christmas and I forgot to start it last week. I'll have a house full until the end of this week. I know a lot of us were making things for the holidays... how did everyone do? I finished the 6 kitchen towels and gave 4 away to my adult married kids. My oldest is moving into an apartment (been living with her in-laws for nearly 2yrs) in Feb. She cannot wait. Two went to her and her husband and the other 2 went to my newly married son and his wife. About 3 weeks before Christmas my sis. mentioned that her teen daughter really wanted a scarf from me. This motivated me to get those last three scarves off my other loom that were earmarked for my dd's school friends. I was able to get another scarf done in less than a week. It turned out really nice - probably the best I'd done in a while. But, I didn't get a photo of it. I'll be using that yarn again, since it turned out so nicely. Goals for 2014 I'd really like to try and take some more weaving classes. I'm not sure how I'll get to a live class but there's a recorded online class about color and weaving fabric for clothing. Making clothing is a goal I've had for a long time, so I may load it onto my computer when things calm down here. +I'm thinking that maybe now that the holidays are just about behind us we can start doing a monthly check-in instead of a weekly one. What does everyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The Christmas rush is over. I was frantically knitting away on ds2's socks on Christmas morning but didn't finish. I was able to finish them on Christmas day at least and got dh's and ds1's socks done on time. I had been thinking ds2 wasn't as knit-worthy as dh or ds1 but ds2 has been the one wearing his hand-knit socks the most, so I guess I was wrong. I just finished a hat for myself (no pictures yet) and am currently knitting a hat for Halos of Hope. I plan to make a couple things for myself in the new year--socks and a shawlette. One of my goals is to knit up some of the things I've had in my Ravelry queue for awhile instead of knitting the newest hat pattern and letting the queue grow out of control. I think a monthly check-in would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomOfOneFunOne Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 AMDG We lost our sewing teacher to a move in august. We had plans to continue via skype but she's an older lady and . . . It didn't work out. She was such a great teacher, though, that we're having a really hard time finding someone to replace her. So, my goal for this year (January, really) is to find a great new sewing teacher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieJ Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I finished up my projects before christmas. I got 2 twin sized rag quilts done for my grandsons. Hopscotch mat (Pinterest) was a fun project. AFghan for DIL several dozen napkins for DDs. Oh, I did so much more than that list the past few months, but how quickly I forget! Now I am working thru some small balls of yarn and making crochet cowl scarves. No brain work, which is what I do best. I see some sewing classes in my future. DIL has a new sewing machine and DD has a baby girl and both need some refresher classes that I can teach them. Plus my DH got me a Babylock Serger that does cover stitch and so much more! I am hoping to take some classes for myself. I think I will be sewing a prom dress in my near future as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I had a stressful finish to the Christmas crafting season. I was working on 2 scarves for friends of the family coming in from out of town. They are my FIL's generation (and truly his buddies) so we typically rely on him to find out when they are coming into town. We asked for days, but assumed they would be in over Christmas day and so I had plenty of time to finish them both up as they were both a good percent finished. Wednesday before Christmas we learn they are coming down on Thursday to see the more local set of kids (who still live over an hour away from us) and they are leaving for home early Saturday but they could see us for lunch on Thursday as they came into town. Yeah, that was a late night, but I got them both done. The matching hats just didn't happen. After that I was fairly spent, but I did a rush on Thursday to get a baby hat done that matched a grownup hat/scarf set that I already had done. Then I made 3 cat snuggles for my parents using 3 yarns held together. My main purpose for those was to use up some yarn that my mom had donated to her that feels like it is from the 80's. Definitely not soft enough for human use these days. Then I went to Joann's to pet the yarn (that rough stuff and the urgency to get everything done on time was not inspiring me to continue my craft) and ended up walking out of there with this sock loom which is officially for my oldest twin who really wants to do crochet but isn't coordinated enough. He loved it all of a few hours before he got board and wanted to turn his practice scarf into a bracelet. We didn't know enough about looming to realize you needed a much narrower board to make the double sided scarves we kept seeing tutorials on so it took watching several tutorials and doing exactly what they said and coming out with this horrible ball of mess before I researched more. Then we just did in in the round. His little thing ended up turning into 1 of 3 cat toys for my sister's cats. I had to do the other two. I liked using it enough that I rushed out and bought myself this gigantic one with my Christmas money and I am currently working on a double sided scarf. It definitely takes longer than crocheting one, but I like how it is turning out. I am probably going to end up harvesting the bolts and spacers off of this one to use on the sock loom though as it is bulky. My goals for this year is to donate hats, baby blankets, throws, and scarves so thanks for the link up thread. If anyone knows of different organizations that take each, those would be great. I am sure we have a cancer center here, but in the deep south not too many days call for scarves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Well I failed to post photos but am happy to report that I did complete all of my Christmas projects. The toy car mat that I made for a grand nephew was well received. This is the second one I have made from an Etsy pattern (with excellent, detailed instructions I will note). Here is the photo from the pattern creator's Etsy site: My son's girlfriend arrived Saturday from Britain. She was thrilled to receive another pair of handknitted socks from me (and apparently had hoped that these would be under the tree). On the needles now is the 221-B hat. Goals: work on tailoring skills which will include pattern altering. In the months ahead I want to sew a lined wool skirt to have an example for any of the 4-Hers who are thinking about entering the Make it With Wool contest in the fall. I also want to work with some of the 4-Hers on incrementally improving their skills. The sewing workshops that our county has had the last few years have been a hodge podge of basic sewing. There are girls who need to move on! I think a monthly check in thread is a great idea. We can bump to post progress or an interesting link.

TechWife Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm not crafting this week, instead I'm organizing my quilting materials. They have been in the dining room/school room since I started quilting back in July. I am repurposing a wall in the office I share with my dh since I don't work at my desk in there. I've been sorting fabric, trimming scraps and wrapping yardage onto bolts for a few days now. I ordered bookcases that will arrive on Friday, so before then, I have to finish organizing the fabric & clean off the junk that has piled onto the desk so that I can take it apart & store it. Hopefully all will be finished before the end of next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganicAnn Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I made both my mother and sister knitted head bands (attached to those thick elastic hair bands to give them some stretch). They both seemed to like it. My sister wears these types of things all the time. My mom only does to keep her ears warm, so I made hers wide in the area of ears. So I'm planning on making my sister several over the next year. I received some beautiful yarn for Christmas. Since it was a gift, I think I should use it on myself. So I'm making fingerless gloves. One is knitted and the second one started. I'll have a fair amount of yarn left over. I think I'll make one SIL some fingerless gloves also. I need to make my Step MIL a scarf or something for next Christmas. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have to go to JoAnn's this morning. (Pray that I come out alive.) I need to do a costume-making workshop for my bellydance students, so I have to put together the example and compile a realistic supplies list before I can set a date for the workshop. I haven't actually made a costume like this before, so I need to streamline the process before I attempt it with people who need instructions to sew on a button.

LMA Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I love everyone's projects and plans! What fun! It is so nice to share with each other. I hope to do more needlepoint. I renewed membership in three guilds so I could participate in one of each guild's planned workshops for 2014. I have my Halloween needlepoint to pick up again. If I do one section a month, I think I can finish it by next Halloween. I hope to make more Christmas ornaments for gifts. I have a couple of cross stitch ones and a few needlepoint ones. The hardest part for me is finishing the ornament, meaning making the stitching into the actual ornament instead of paying someone to do it. I have to make the twisted cord, cut the mat board, etc. I found some nice batting that will work well with making padded ornaments. I'm still knitting. I hope to dust off the sewing machine. I still take my 8 year old to knitting and I signed her up for a sewing class at Joanne's Fabrics. If she likes it, I will find a class that runs over several weeks at a local sewing store for her. Just as a side note, my daughter received a headband kit and a weaving kit for bracelets during 2013. She finished both kits. I gave her a latch hook kit I had in a drawer. She is working on that. I gave in and ordered her a Rainbow Loom kit. I'm not a fan of the kit as she can knit and crochet bracelets with her own stitch patterns. But she really wanted one, so she is getting that for Epiphany. Whatever you are planning, enjoy your crafts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 It's okay, I think we all got overwhelmed with Christmas! I finished Sylvia's fingerless gloves at last (ran out of yarn and got another skein Saturday). I just need to weave in ends. I was thinking of making a matching headband; I pinned a cute pattern recently. I've made a lot of progress on my Clapotis. It takes 4 skeins of yarn and I'm on my second.

GailV Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 At the moment I'm playing around swatching yarn to start a sweater. The other day I entered a bunch of my books and magazines into my Ravelry library, so I can now actually see what patterns I own. I've also found some yarn that I never listed in stash on Ravelry. So I'm trying to match up yarn I already own with patterns I already own -- what a concept! I'm also slowly catching up on blogging about what I've done lately, entering projects on Ravelry, and entering projects on patternreview.com. We've been too busy lately, followed by being very sick. Future plans include more organization, particularly the sewing patterns. I'm thinking about entering all of them into the patternreview.com stash list -- I dearly wish I could enter which issues I have of Burda and Ottobre, and it would figure out for me which patterns I therefor have, like Ravelry does with magazines -- I have a feeling, though, that's not gonna happen. Also, much organization and using-up of fabric stash needs to occur. It's downright scary right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in NC Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hello everyone. Sorry that I am not supplying photos but I will give links. It has been a productive sewing week for me. I made a blouse from vintage fabric purchased from a charity shop using a Kwik Sew pattern which also came from a charity shop. The buttons on it were part of a vintage stash that my husband picked up for me at a yard sale. (Feeling self-righteously sustainable at the moment. :D ) Additionally I made a Monk's Bag (tutorial from the Purl Bee website) again using fabrics gleaned from charity shops. I also made a darling ear buds case using a tutorial from Dog Under my Desk. I did the circular case first; next up is the heart-shaped one, in time for Valentine's Day. While over at the Purl Bee site, I saw a felt heart charm post that might inspire someone. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Can we start a new thread? I'm getting lost in here & the thread is hard for me to find. I tend to overlook holiday themed thread titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
