Excitement Abound

Z took my booking form for the school fete in today. The cost per exhibitor is £10, plus a raffle prize. He suggested I make something, so I’m going to whip up a cat hat to donate. So that’s another project on the needles. I also have an increasingly full shopping basket on eBay, as I definitely need more beads…. Read more »

Making a Start

I made myself sit down and get started on weaving in the ends. I’m going to be at it for some time, but it always goes more quickly than I think it’s going to once I get a start. Of course, it would help if I don’t lose my needle… Today has been a balance between bits of self-care, and… Read more »

And Rest

As of today, all of the squares are joined! Woo! Now, there’s only… weaving in hundreds of ends… doing a border… possibly sewing a back on… oh okay, there’s a lot of work left, but it still feels good to be ‘done’ for the moment. I might start weaving in some of the ends tonight, but there’s an equally strong… Read more »

One and a Bit

As it stands right now, I have one row and a ‘square’ remaining on the main work of my blanket. I should probably buckle down and get it done, but Skyrim. *chuckles* It’s been really nice getting back into it and being reminded of why the memes are hilarious (not that I had forgotten per se, but they’re a bit… Read more »

Last night, I did indeed remember to talk to Z about buying a couple more of the cheap and cheerful dresses that I like. We looked together to see what colours we liked, and I pushed that order through. Then I signed up for Wish this morning, and bought a cheap and cheerful pair of unicorn leggings, because why not….

The blanket continues to grow. I’m shortly to begin adding the sixth row; it’s going to end up being 5×8, I think. It’s a pretty good size right now, but yanno, more bigger, more better or something. xD I opted to do eff-all today, which basically amounted to ‘ALL THE SKYRIM’, and a few little chores. Z wanted to have… Read more »

After doing a few rows of a gauge square and going meh, I decided to go ahead and get the first couple of rows of sockage started. This is all of a row and a half in, but mainly I just wanted to get it started before going out tonight. That way, I have the choice between working on the… Read more »

I’m happy with the continued growth of the blanket. I’m currently attaching the 18th ‘square’, so nearly halfway there (if I want it all to be one blanket, which might end up being the case). I need to stop and think about what direction I’m going with it, which is to say, what sort of dimensions am I aiming for…. Read more »

Coming Along

After some false starts (and then more false starts), I’m starting to make some good progress on joining up the ‘squares’. I’m currently attaching the 11th, which heeeey. Not bad. I’m thinking this is going to be joined up faster than I thought… then comes weaving in the five million ends. Blergh. But let’s be honest, that normally goes fairly… Read more »

Forty

I did it! I cast off on the last blanket square today for a grand total of forty. I’ve gotten the first two joined, and a third that I’ve had to remove. I had joined it up the wrong way around, so the rows didn’t match up. The current attempt to join up is looking much better. 🙂 Today has… Read more »
