YOP5 week 8



As I sit here thinking about this weeks post I realize I should've added more larger projects. I look at my list every few days , and even with a schedule , I don't want to make anything. :(
I don't really like making scarves but I am on my second one. And I have another 2-3 on my list. 

This week I added an item. I added a C2C ( corner to corner ) blanket of Monkey D. Luffy from my fiance's favorite anime One Piece. It won't be all that big, just enough for Jon to keep warm in the colder months while he plays his video games, Its a bit cold in this corner. 

  • The shark blanket had to be restarted due to it being two different colors. I picked up some Lion Brand Hometown USA in Dallas gray thinking that's the color I had the most of... Nope. So the search continues, I don't know why the label was not on the other 2 skeins. But I don't think it will take me long to make once I get the 7-9 skeins I need. 
  • I am so glad that I am almost done with the Boston Bruins blanket. Remind me not to make the solid granny squares again. For some reason some of the stitches didn't line up. Its just by a few so I had to sew twice into one stitch. Looks okay. Can't tell where I did it . 
  • Like I said, I started another scarf. A rainbow scarf. The next color is blue.
  • And lastly, I made a shrug for my wedding in October. ( I will post a pic soon) I used the yarn my soon to be MIL bought me last Christmas. I said I wanted to make my dress . So she bought some yarn but Its too bulky to make a dress so I decided to make a shrug. I will not be making my dress like I originally planned. I will never wear it again and it will just take up room and get ruined.

    Thanks for adding the explanation of C2C ... I'd have been left wondering. I made a sweater for my own wedding and then never wore it, so you're probably best to keep things simple. How you find the patience for all these big blanket projects is a mystery to me!

    Smart move not to make your wedding dress in my opinion. I gave my dress away right after my wedding. A shrug sounds lovely though and I look forward to seeing it. Good luck with the Halloween season!

    Looking forward to seeing the shrug, and I hear you on the scarves - I love wearing them, but I don't really love making them... :)

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 .
