Works In Progress

I started the year with a few things waiting to be finished off. There are many more projects I really want to start but I'm determined to finish some, if not all, of these before I do.

All the squares for the Natures Walk Blanket by Sandra Paul were finished a long time ago. I've since sewn in all the ends and blocked them, they've been waiting to be joined together and the border added for quite some time. I've loved this blanket since I saw the release of the pattern and I can't wait to have it finished now that I've started crocheting the squares together. Not too far to go on this now.

The Vertices Unite by Stephen West is something else I've loved for the longest time. I started it nearly a year ago but it's been put to one side, mainly because I was knitting things for Jack, but it's been picked back up again now. It's knit in six different sections and I'm now on the fourth of these so I'm over half way. It's something I can work on whilst watching TV as it's nice easy knitting.

I've got so many odds and ends of yarn in my stash, I'm loathe to throw even the smallest scraps away, hand dyed yarn is expensive, but also very pretty, so I decided to crochet all the smallest scraps in my stash into a Granny Wrap, an easy shawl pattern by Annaboo's House. The only problem with using scraps is that you have to change yarn so often and this means that there's so many ends to sew in, it's quite time consuming. I'm getting there though, it's already a decent size but I want to add more to it, I've still got so many scraps of yarn left. It looks so colourful.

So that's it, three projects left to finish but I can see the end in sight for them all. Look out for the finishes.

  1. Have you tried a small rug hook for sewing ends in, I find it much quicker and less fiddly, it always works well on this design. I really need to do some crafting, but my mind is on the garden, which is far too early.

    1. I haven't tried a rug hook, I shall have to give that a go. I'm really enjoying crafting at the moment, I'm making the most of the winter months when we're stuck indoors.

  2. Unfinished projects are a thing most creative people are familiar with, aren't they? I have so many things hanging about, but it's about inclination with me. It does feel good to get things completed.
    I look forward to seeing these finished.
    Best wishes

  3. It's time I finished a few things, too. I'm too easily distracted.
