Heart Socks

Pulled out my travel project since I'm planning a trip to my parents soon and figured I'd try it on, a bit snug but it fits and I took some pics to share.

Rona Lace Shawl Start

So here's the start of the lace shawl ... up to row 11 or 12 right now and looking gorgeous but difficult! Hope it'll come along alright.

WIP: Albem Purse from Berroco and Crochet Shawl

So I had purchased this lovely purple yarn on a trip to the knitting store and it's been sitting in my stash for months till I finally looked at the maker of the yarn and searched their site for an appropriate pattern. Considering my theme lately has been gifts I thought that the purse was the way to go and I started it. I haven't gotten very far into it yet but it's moving along and it's wonderfully thick using two strands and the cable pops beautifully. I'm going to find some nice fabric to line this in and hope I can eventually give it away. I am not looking forward to the gusset/strap though which may go fast but is going to be mind numbingly boring I'm sure.







This is a crochet shawl I'm working on that I found on about.com I wanted a doily inspired piece but not lace and I had this caron simply soft that I thought would go beautifully with this design. It's barely a third of the way through and I can't wait to get to the pineapple part of the design.

FO Crochet Cable Bolster Pillow

Well the pic came out sideways but it's visible. It's from one of those 63 ________ to knit/crochet and I used Vanna's Choice yarn which I loved the blue color of it matches my drapes pretty well but has gotten sat on and mushed a bit since I made it. Oh well. It's a finished piece and I'm really proud of it.

FO Oxford Slipper

Faux Suede Oxford type slippers

Made out of yarn I got on clearance, they're a bit big for my foot so I'll likely use them as a gift but I have to build up the back and sides a bit so they stay on the foot. Also working on a variation in a verigated yarn of the same type called vineyard which has some beautiful colors

Keep track of my WIPs

After thinking of a new project to start I ran across so many blogs about projects people were working on, I figured I should start my own blog to keep track of my works in progress and maybe it'd kick me into finishing more of them. So soon as I take the pics which I will not slow down on I'll post my fiber projects first, then my clay and other misc.
