I have assembled a list of the most active works in progress in my knitting and other categories.
First, I have finished the Love From Wooly pieces.
Here is Kit the Kitten wearing her mittens. She has a friend named Tom Kitten, but he didn't come to visit.
Here is Finlay the Fox. He is wearing socks. The photo doesn't do Finlay justice. He really is a total fox.
I also am working on my Jess Sweater. The Prime Alpaca is a dream to knit with. I have the back and one front finished. The first sleeve is about a 5th of the way complete and I cast on the second front.
The Jess Sweater has to take a back seat to the custom project I am knitting.
I have a client who's favorite sweater was losing shape and so she asked me to duplicate it. I have the back and some of the front finished.
The last item on the list today is a project that I began about 2 months ago to help the kids with their fine motor skills. My first idea was to sew buttons and laces and zippers and snaps to one big pillow. I rethunk that idea when I saw someone out here in the internet using pieces of clothing. My new plan is to make individual pillows and label them each with needle felting. I have to think up how to do the lacing one. I haven't started that one yet, but I have some ideas bouncing around.
I will now pledge to finish these projects by the summer. That will be perfect because I will feel more like sewing then anyway.
I hope that Thursday is treating you all well,
Shout out to my mom. Happy to see, or hear, you at home!
Bye,
Jess
Hey Jess! I recently found your blog. You're such a talented lady!! I really like your photo series from the 5th lamp.
ReplyDeleteI had an idea about your laces problem. These pillows you are making are similar to the learning tools used in Montessori classes. If I remember the shoe lace board properly they used grommets (sp?) along 2 pieces of cloth that you could then use a regular shoe lace to lace up.
You may be able to do a google search on Montessori tools to see what they look like.
Hope to keep in touch with you! I still check the email address you have for me. =)
