YOP 4: Week 8

I have some sad news. I can not make the wedding dress I planned on making for myself. The free link on ravelry is gone and the mag is out of print :(
After spending the whole weekend looking for another dress, I found ( in my favorite on ravelry) this Spider Web Skirt pattern  . Ive loved it for a while now, but I am not a skirt wearing type of gal but my wedding is a special occasion. Josi turned the skirt in to her wedding dress and it looks AMAZING! So I may have found a replacement ( that looks a bit better) .

No picture updates for the Mario Blanket this week. I was able to sew 2 more rows of squares and make a few more tan and brown squares.

Its the end of summer so more hat orders will be rolling in for Halloween. I am hoping for a repeat of last fall.  Many, many orders. I don't want to sound greedy but I do have a wedding to pay for :)  

I made my list a bit longer. Adding more home decor and holiday items.

  1. Just my opinion but I think the new skirt with a top part, like what Josi did would be stunning, much more so than the original.

  2. What a shame about the pattern disappearing, but glad you found a suitable replacement pattern!

  3. So sorry to hear that the pattern's gone, how's that possible? I hope that it somehow reappears again!

YOP5 week 34

Motivation to finish my list is highly needed!! My hook challenge isn't doing too well. All those projects are holiday related and I've missed a few. Its silly to make Christmas items a few weeks before St, Patrick's day . But I did FINISH something thing week!! Guess how many skeins it took to finish this blanket? 

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
