Cinder Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So what is everyone working on? Share your plans and progress here. I'm *still* knitting socks for dh. These are a new pair, though. I was able to give him 3 pairs of ankle socks, which he uses for running, for Christmas. I'm ready to knit something for myself but I haven't decided what yet.

jelbe5 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I used to do counted cross stitch. I have not done any projects for years. I want to begin again. My dream was (and still is) to make small cross stitch projects that I would hang on a Christmas tree. I am hoping to have a few small things for Christmas 2015!

Rosie_0801 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm hoping to get back into crafting this year. Step one is to find the instruction book I'm after to make some Australian flower fairy Christmas tree decorations. I've got the felt right here on my dresser, but I don't know what I've done with the book since moving house! I bought dd a sewing machine, so she's going to expand her repertoire from running stitch into grander things in her "Nanna School" lessons. :) Next step for her will be to learn to sew on a button, and to start learning to use her machine. I need to find some woollen blankets to cut up into a cloak for the winter as a wrap for getting from Nanna's, into the car and back home to bed for the winter. She's going to decorate it with buttons for the extra practice. I was inspired by the Native American button blankets (I think from the North East somewhere?) Once she's covered her cloak we're going to look up more info about their button blankets and find out what they are all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm a quilter but occasionally take breaks to sew other things. Currently sewing a zippered bag with a zillion pockets to use for a gym bag. 3 zippered pockets, closed with a separating zipper...making it out of costly batiks. I'm on day four of this project. I could have a quilt pieced by now! Also have a bed size quilt that needs finished and then I can send it to my sister, who is a longarm quilter. I have a twin size Spiderman quilt pieced for my grandson and I can machine quilt that this month. Then up is a paper pieced mariner's compass round tabletopper. I estimate that will take me all spring to finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I want to make a trial run at a crocheted bag (think D&D dice) for dd1, then if I can get the shape right do it again with silvery metallic thread. Pattern is shaped like a dragon's egg with scales. Knit a soap saver bag, washcloth and make some fresh soap to enter in the County Fair in March. Learn to use the fancy electronic programmable embroidery sewing machine I picked up on Craigslist. Make a set of panties and maybe a bra.

KatieJ Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Short list is princess dresses for granddaughter's birthday in two weeks. After that I am going to make as quilted wall hanging out of fabric I bought in Hawaii years ago. I never had a plan but it is red and green so I hope to have it on the wall next Christmas. I am contemplating sewing a yellow and gray rag quilt for one of our guest rooms. We ll see how far I get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaniemom Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm going to try to learn something new. I can't decide between quilting or learning to sew simple clothes.

purpleowl Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Quilting: I just finished up a couple of table runners as Christmas gifts: I have a small sewing project to do next (stuffed letters to spell my niece's name), and then I'll be working on my Settlers of Catan quilt. Quilling: A former student is getting married in a couple of weeks. I'll be doing some quilling around the invitation and framing it as my wedding gift. (I gave something practical at his fiancee's bridal shower. ;) ) Generally, I try to do quilled flowers that match the type and colors used in the wedding, but in this case I feel like flowers aren't the right choice for some reason. So I'm planning to go kind of free-form and hope I end up with something pretty. :p Then up is a paper pieced mariner's compass round tabletopper. I estimate that will take me all spring to finish! I was thinking the other day that I'd like to learn how to do a mariner's compass. Is there a book/website that you'd recommend for someone new to the techniques required for that?

Annie G Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Purpleowl, I'm using a paper pieced pattern that uses Jinny Beyer batiks. My sister did a mariner's compass quilt using paper piecing also. Not sure I have the skill to make it any other way. I've done a fair amount of paper piecing but this is still going to be quite the challenge! This is the kit I'm doing- I'm doing the color on the right. http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/migration-table-topper-quilt-kit/6886 No way would I attempt this without paper. It's quite a challenge! And now that I look at it, it's not really a mariner's compass. But close enough for me. I'm committed now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniper Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 More farming than crafting, but this year I am working with a group of angora rabbit breeders to increase the micron count of our herds. We have to send in samples to a lab 4 times a years and see how big a difference we can make in a year. Beyond that I am doing a lot of spinning and dyeing of my own 100% angora. I taught myself tunisian crochet a few days ago and love it! I have tried to knit so many times and just can't do it well. Tunisian crochet gives me the look, but in a way in can handle. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne in CA Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Rosie, I have a good friend who makes a lot of button blankets. She has a source for shiny buttons that is much cheaper than anything in the US. I think she orders them directly from Thailand. If you do makes some, I can ask her for her source. Mostly I will quilt, but I would love to get back to watercolor painting. I had a great teacher in Oregon and I was making good progress, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

I am a former HUGE scrapbooker, so I plan to use my Circa and some scrap supplies, and some Circa supplies from Levenger and make 5 (4 gifts, 1 for me!) prayer journals. I am super excited about it.

Shoot, now there will be two things I have to move correctly instead of just one. :huh: Some people think knitting is simpler because you know to use the next stitch on the needle, unlike crochet where you have to stick the crochet hook somewhere or other but sometimes aren't sure exactly where. Fewer choices make it better for some people. And some people keep the left (or non-dominant hand) needle totally still and just work around it, so there's still just one thing moving correctly.

GailV Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I finally got around to casting on the Sherlock cowl I linked to in the pre-Christmas thread. Moving glacially slow on this. I keep thinking of other things I'd rather do. Dd and I whipped up 3 ball band dishcloths on the way to a family Christmas -- so much fun! I want to make more, but I don't like to actually use those types of dishcloths. So then I discovered that you can use tulle to knit dish scrubbies, and am wondering if I really did throw out all of the extraneous tulle in the stash closet. My family got me a subscription for Threads for Christmas and the first issue just came. And then my SIL gave me a gift card for JoAnn. So I'm pondering what to sew for myself. Except what I should really be sewing is a hoop skirt and dress for younger dd to be Blanche in the musical version of Jane Eyre.

I've been hearing about EU VAT all over Ravelry. I don't really know details but it has to do with changes in how taxes are collected in the EU.

Some are just crazy stunning. I'm so excited. Some of the designers have decided that the cost of selling due to the EUVAT is too burdensome so they are doing one or more of the following: Refusing to sell to EU customers to avoid the issue Making their patterns free and closing shop Selling via other retailers who will collect the tax and such for them and charge them for doing that Letting people know to buy before the end of the year (obviously too late now) bc they just closing up this year (patterns won't be available at all) I've been putting my favs on FB for my close yarny friends but didn't think to share here. :( Sorry.

I need a new pair of Fuzzy Feet too. I set the yarn aside when we had that first cold snap . . . a couple months ago? But then it warmed up and stayed warm-ish so I made no progress. But I hear it's supposed to be below freezing here in the next couple days. I don't think I"ll get done in time so I'll have to just wear my old Fuzzy Feet which has a hole in it but is still mostly wearable. By the time I get around to a new pair it will be summer. lol.

Someone else blogged about this lacking in the cyber communities not too long ago and mentioned a few sad 'contenders', but really the biggest problem is those places have just very little sharing and feedback, much less the scale of ravelry. Idk why that is, but it's a crying shame. I know the market and interest is there bc folks on my ravelry groups are always talking about these things too.
