Cabled Afghan KAL

Over the summer I worked on the Cabled Afghan KAL.  I am working on the finishing right now and hope to have it completed next week.

Cabled Afghan KAL

It was really fun to do and learned how to do all those gorgeous cables!!  I was always intimidated by cables, so I made myself do this I was really surprised at how easy it was to complete.

Baby WIPs

Since the last post I have added a lot of new baby WIPs.  I have 5 friends all having babies right around the same time frame as my newest one is due.  I found a really easy knitting blanket that works up pretty quick that I am going to make for everyone.  The Rickrack blanket I was making for a friend has been on the back burner a while so I will make one of these as well, since Baby E is almost 6 months old already.  Now to see if I can power through 5 of these before my due date.

Here is the new blanket.

I have worked on one for about a week and half and, I am about 70% done.  I might even make one for Baby L.
I changed the pattern a bit but only the orientation of the stripes the stitches are all the same.

Covered in WIPs

We are in the process of getting things rearranged in the house for the new baby.  Moving my son to a new room and letting him decorate has been fun, but there are random piles of stuff all over the place.  I am also losing my craft room so its been a challenge trying to find places for all my stuff.  I have also uncovered TONS of Works In Progress both knitting and crochet that I now feel the need to complete.

First is the Basket Weave pillow I started a while back. I actually finished the front panel while I was trying up this post.

I have a baby blanket I started for my son and never finished.  The gauge is off so it is going to be HUGE.

Two more afghans

The Corner to Corner I started back in December

The ripple I started last summer

Last two pop tab wristlet projects.

Been gone awhile

It has been a while since I have posted but for good reason, I am pregnant.  I have just now started to get my crafting bug back and it has been in full force.  I am doing a baby blanket for a friend but that has been slow going. I really need to get this done very soon as the baby is already over a month old.

I have also been trying some granny squares and other piece together type blankets.  I have quite a few WIPs that I need to get finished so I can start working on stuff for Baby #2.

Dark Magenta Pop Tab Purse

Here is the finished product my friend said she loves the purse! I actually liked hers more than mine :)

Love the silver liner it makes the magenta pop.

Herringbone Neckwarmer - Knitting Pattern

I finished the hunting hat for my husband the night before his trip this weekend.  It was much needed we are sitting at 37 with freezing rain.  He said it was super warm so that is a win for me.  So with that down I started a new project.

Found a free pattern here and used again Lion brand Hometown USA.  ( I got a ton cheap)

Edited to update link.

This has been a fun patten to work with once I got the stitches down

Dark Magenta Pop Tab Purse

I started working on the dark magenta purse, and trying to perfect a few things.  Instead of making three small sheets for the messenger bag I made one long flap for the top and then the rest of the regular sides.  I have only finished the big one at this point I am excited about this.

I am also going to change the orientation of the sides to help with folding.

Dark Magenta Pop Tab Purse

I have started a new purse for a dear friend of mine.  She wanted a dark magenta with silver lining. She want the shape to be the same as my personal purse but with a cover flap.

I am excited to start another one.

Super Star Afghan Complete

I really like how this turned out.  It was fun to crochet and I just might have to do another :)  It happens to match my sons room so I think this one will be his.  I will have to do another one for the present this was intended to be.

Super Star Afghan

I wanted to look up baby afghans I have TONS of friends having babies again and found this little number.

Super Star Baby Afghan

The only issue is that I might end up keeping it since the colors match my son's room.  I might make is a rug for his room

Corner to corner afgan

I started a corner to corner afghan right before Christmas in Red Heart with love.

This is a fun quick project.  I think I might want it a big bigger than it should be.

Here is what its was after only a few hours of work. I have not worked on it since then but can not wait to get it finished.
