Online Craft Club Show and Tell #24
Oh ya’ll. The stuffed up sinus thing has begun. I haven’t slept properly in two nights. I have no witty rejoinders today, only pictures.
The modeled Wallaby:
A close-up of the finished Sonnet:
After I finished these, I worked some on the scrap blanket. I think I will begin to re-make Spidey’s striped sweater shortly. I plan to model it after sweetness.
I also want to do a little (ok, a lot) of work on the craft area. I don;t suppose it’s logical to buy a couple of those big parrot cages to store my yarn in, right? What about a smaller bird cage that I could suspend from the ceiling? Yeah, you know that would be gor-jus. My cousin uses one to hold candles and colored stones in her living room, and it is so attractive and unique. I think hanks of yarn would look so good half falling out of the slots, don’t you?
Now, what have you been up to?

The answer is yes! Yes, I did find time to knit last night. Yes, I did finish the second sleeve. Yes, I did get it all joined up, and in fact, I got as far as starting the placket, as evidenced by the stitch markers in front. Yes, Carla, those are the ones you sent me! I have a sleepover with the youth tonight, and I am debating between this and socks and a charity hat. Part of the debate consists of trying to convince myself that a garter stitch yoke will look fine, especially with a garter stitch hood. Opinions?
Oh, one more thing. Someone asked about a blogroll. Is that something that interests ya’ll?
Now, what have you been up to?

First off, for thise who were holding your breath, we watched Sliders and Survivor. Then I let dh sleep in front of Without a Trace. I didn’t get much knitting done, I was baby holding instead. And then surfing.
But! Here is Fantasy Ride completed, making the second FO of 2008!
I’m really pleased with how this came out, and once I can spend money on crafts again (just 10 completed projects to go now!!), I’ll frame it and hang it over the loveseat until TheClone comes home to claim it.
Next up, the Wallaby:
The body is complete, and the sleeves are almost halfway there. I’m doing them flat because I lacked dpns in the correct sizes, and guess what?? I can’t spend money on craft supplies!! It won’t take long to seam them, though, and I don’t mind seaming anyway, though I’m no idiot and my first choice is always going to be ITR.
The Wallaby is turning out to be a pretty quick knit considering how little time I have spent on it so far. Well, ok, the Wallaby in a size 4 is pretty quick

Okay, I’m cheating. Sorry. But I have started the back-stitching, and I don’t want to show it half back-stitched, because teh difference is just amazing, and that’s how I am with cross-stitch, and I’m sorry. I guess this week is more about trick photography than the project.
Please forgive me. Next week, you can see it as an FO and maybe get a glimpse of the wallaby, too!

Yep, Friday again. This time, I wasn’t shocked. I looked at the calendar when I was trying to figure out when I was getting paid so I could pay bills, and then I applied that knowledge to my crafting, LOL! I did notice that Alli beat me posting this morning. She’s made a perky little Joseph’s bag.
I worked again on Fantasy Ride. Here’s what it looked like this morning.
For a refresher, here’s what it looked like last week:
and the week before
and before that
before that before that
As if you needed the captioning, LOL. I am pretty sure the pictures tell the tale here. Just click to see them full size. I really want to push and finish this, but I also want to finish the wallaby while Drama can still wear it. Decisions, decisions.

It’s Friday again already! How the heck does that happen? Yeah, I know I say that almost every week, but dang! It’s always such a shock!
This week, I worked on Fantasy Ride, and got quite a bit done. I did have to do some ripping, because I found a mistake that was well over a decade old. I couldn’t completely fix it without doing a whole lot more ripping that I was willing to do, but I don’t think it will be horribly noticeable in the end. Here’s what it looks like now, and remember I am working across the whole top, and not just one quarter.
I had hoped to have this finished in January, but it’s looking iffy. OTOH, I not only finished the kitchen and dining room this week, I also went through the bathroom, and cleaned my deskal area. I think I’ll move into my room over the weekend, but I might make another pass on the bathroom instead.
While you are here, check out my contest post. I am giving away a copy of Glamour Knits at Home, and entry instructions can be found here.

It’s Friday again! How does it happen that Friday comes around again so quickly? It’s crazy. Crazy, I say.
At any rate, I’ve been busy again this week. Here you can see the wallaby. The pocket is attached, and I have about half an inch before the yoke. I’ll be making sleeves shortly, IF I have the proper size dpns. Determining not to spend money on crafts until I have completed 12 projects may present some dilemmas. If I need needles can I borrow them from you?
And here is Fantasy Ride. I really tried last night to get this corner finished, but I gave up at quarter til one and went to bed.
Now, I know you can see that this is not the normal level of craftiness you usually see here on Fridays. But I have a reason, and I can illustrate it for you with a picture. I am in the throes of a whole house purge. We are downsizing, getting rid of what we don’t use. Yesterday, for instance, we moved the craft stuff out of the bottom of the china hutch so we could use it for actual dining room type stuff. It was left in there from when that hutch was in the living room. This picture illustrates just why I don’t need to spend more money on crafts. This is a stack of books, magazines and scrapping supplies, and it’s not even all of the scrapping stuff. Yeah. I love to make stuff, and making stuff takes a lot of stuff. But not this much stuff.
I have got to weed through all the mess and use it/lose it/plan it. Even a gold anklet can feel like a ball and chain if it’s heavy enough, ykwim.

I’ve been a busy, busy girl this week. And I’ve also made time to craft.
You remember the hat, right?
And then I picked up the Fantasy Ride and came within a couple-three hours of finishing that lower right corner.
And then I found the Wonderful Wallaby pattern. Yesterday, as soon as I had done some cleaning of the leftover mess (yeah I know I said I was going to finish that, but, it’s the Wallaby. Knitting crack, see? ) and written lesson plans for Spidey, I cast on one for Drama.
She asked me first thing this morning if it was done yet. Clearly the child has a warped view of the knitting process. So, what have you been making?
