Progress Report

Hi - it's late, and I'm knitting myself to sleep. I have a habit or working three projects at once - meaning all three take longer to complete than they would otherwise. I'd like to show off a couple of things I've already done from my own designs.- for example, the afghan above is my own design - I'm really proud of this afghan. I made it for the daughter of a friend of mine, for her 14th birthday. I also made an 'afghan for two' for my friend and her hubby - in jewel tones. I am sorry, now that I didn't take pics, but it's OK - I'll probably make another sometime. In lieu of that, stay tuned, I'll post patterns for both designs - soon.


So here's what I'm doing RIGHT Now:

I'm working MADLY away on a semi-fitted jacket, in Forest Green based on the Lion Brand Matinee Swing Jacket Pattern. I have the right front panel half done, also, and I've got this FABULOUS button to put on it - it's got faux rhinestones and pearls and it's two inches across. Sounds gaudy, I know, but wait til you see it! That's for a later post, though ...

I'm switching to working on my second project a scrap yarn sweater of my own design. I made my niece a 'marriage' afghan - big enough for her and her new hubby to curl up with, based on a 3x3 expansion of Lionbrand's Circle in a Square Throw (picture of the work in progress is attached in blues, golds, and purples, bottom left). I am using those leftovers, with Lionbrand in discontinued Country Green. My third project = well, perhaps I'll finish it this year. Yellow lace and cable cardi (cotton) - 3/4 sleeves.


Well, it's late - more later, when I have more progress to report - in fact, if the scrap sweater ends as well as it started, I'll be posting a pattern.
