August FO's

Ok y'all .... try not to faint, but I have FO's ... yup ... my first ever!!

13 squares for WUA (lucky 13)
10 made by me
3 made by memama

2 Scarves for HMPCWD
maroon wool made by me
scarf with fringe made by memama

I am taking a hat class in September at my local knit shop and I hope also to learn how to make mittens :)

Many thanks to those who have sent items. I am going to wait a few more days, and then I will post pics of items I have received so far.

Some FOs

The first set I posted and is already counted, but I didn't post it over here. The second set I just finished tonight. Both sets will be going to jezebelsf for "how many people can we dress."

And tonight's set:

August FOs

I have not completed as much as I would have liked in August but have managed to complete 6 squares (all of which need blocking).

• 2 bright pink 12" squares which I will be sending to Priscilla who is making a Fibre Freaks afghan to donate to Blankets for the Gulf;
• 2 7" squares which I am going to send to The Ghana Project;
• and 2 blue squares which will be going to Close Knit hugs once I have completed a few more for them.
  
  

  
  
  

fo's for august

hey there! it's been another super slow month for me where knitting/crocheting is concerned, but i've got a few fo's to share with you.

• i made a pair of socks for my boyfriend. i don't know if that counts towards the total, but i finished them.
• i made two blankets for the preemies at the local hospital. they're so tiny, but my contact said they needed them as small as 12 x 12.
• i made a hat and booties set, also for the nicu.

i'll probably get another hat done before the end of the month, but i'll post about that when i've got it done.

2 More for the Count

I haven't accomplished a lot this month, but I have finished 2 more items for Warm Up Winchester.
Both the hat and the scarf are made out of 100% wool, so they should be warm. And I got both patterns from Stitch and Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker.

Alright, I can't resist

We have 2 full days of August left. Right now we are at 2,385 items finished.

So goal number one...can we get to 2390?

Or...could we get to 2400???

Let's find out the answer to these and other questions :)

You all rock.

9 More WUA Squares

I didn't have a lot of time for charity crafting earlier in the month, but this past weekend I sat down with 2 skeins of Plymouth Encore from my stash to see how many WUA squares I could make. My thought was that if needed, some or all of these squares could be used in the Patternworks challenge afghan. If they aren't needed for that afghan, then they can be used in any WUA afghan. By mixing and matching the two colors, I managed to get 9 squares.
The daisy square in the second picture is going to be sent to Krochet Krystal for one of her charity afghans. I made that one out of Caron Simply Soft.

I think this will end my "summer of squares". I am going to shift gears now and work on hats, mittens and scarves this fall.
