Many projects on the go
Sep 18th, 2009 by elle
I’m always finding new projects that I absolutely must do, and right now I’ve got five on the go in some form or another…
Okay so yeah, I’ve got many craft projects going at the same time. At the moment they include… As mentioned in my last post, I’m knitting my fiancé a new bookmark. I’m at the stage of having the yarn and fibre fill I need, but not having cast on yet. It shouldn’t take long, though. I’m also working on a knitted neckwarmer, which shall be really pretty, but I have to restart for the third time, so I’m not anywhere with that one at the moment, but it won’t take long once I get back onto it.
Then there’s three sewing projects. I’m still working on my faux fur capelette, because my boy-cat peed on the pattern I was pushed back and couldn’t work on it. I won’t be able to get to my Uni to print up the pattern again until Monday. Then there’s the second – geeky – capelette I’m working on, the Gryffindor one. This one is solely going to be an ‘in the house’ deal. No way would I wear this outside the house, though I might show it to an equally geeky friend from work. The other sewing project is this really cute scarf dress idea from a Burda Style competition. You use shirring and some scarves to make a dress. I bought my shirring elastic today, and I’m rather excited to give it a try. As I’m not in the U.S. I can’t submit it for the competition, but I’m excited to see what I can come up with nonetheless.
Okay now for a knitting pattern. Due to all my HP geekery, I think we need something to go along with that! I like this really simple little owl pattern, more of a Pigwidgeon than a Hedwig, but cute!
